Weighted Overhead Crunch (On Stability Ball)
Gym Exercise Card
Equipment
The weighted overhead crunch on a stability ball engages the core by combining a crunch with added resistance from a weight. This exercise improves core strength and stability, particularly targeting the upper abdominal muscles effectively due to the increased range of motion.
How to do it
- Sit on a stability ball with feet flat on the floor.
- Walk forward until your lower back rests on the ball.
- Hold a weight plate above your chest with arms extended.
- Curl your upper body up, lifting your shoulders off the ball.
- Slowly return to the starting position without losing tension.
