I am often up late at night watching TV, and as such, I tend to see a lot of different infomercials for exercise equipment, particulary for your abs.
Unfortunately, many of these products simply don’t work.
There is one product that is used primarily for abdominal exercises (though it can be used for a myriad of other exercises) that really helps to target you midsection and build a rock hard set of abs.
The stability ball.
Using the ball can improve many of the traditional abdominal exercises by increasing the effective range of motion of the exercise. The increased range of motion allows for greater activation of the muscles by recruiting more muscle fibers. This allows you to build muscle faster and burn more calories during the exercise.
So, what are my 5 favorite stability ball exercises?
- Ab Rolls (upper abs)
- Ab Tucks (lower abs)
- Crunch, Reach, Pass (upper and lower abs simultaneously)
- Oblique Crunch (obliques)
- Stability Ball Crunch (upper abs)
These 5 stability ball exercises allow you to target all of the main sections of the abdominals.
You can find a description of these exercises on our stability ball exercises page.
So, how do you incorporate these exercises into a complete 6-pack abdominal routine?
Well, I have done that for you too!

This all, of course, begs the question…
