Friday’s ABSolution

This post is going to be short and sweet. Today’s ab workout involves supersetting two exercises using added resistance with a medicine ball.

Exercise 1: V-Sit with Med Ball Twists

Execution: Get into a “V” position with your torso and upper thighs. Keep your abs tight, and maintain a flat back as you perform a slight twist to each side. To advance the motion lift your feet off the floor. Perform 10 twists to each side.

Exercise 2: Med Ball “Shelf” Crunch

Execution: Lay flat on your back with your hips and knees bent to 90-degrees. Perform a full crunching motion (make sure to take your shoulder blades off the ground) starting with your arms outstretched taking the medicine ball towards your shins (your shins create a shelf for the ball) and placing the ball on your shins. Leave the ball on your “shin shelf” and return to starting position. This sequence equals one rep. Perform 15 reps.
