Exercise Description

The weighted exercise ball sit up builds stronger abs while improving core stability. The ball adds instability, making your core work harder than regular sit ups.

How To

1. Sit on the exercise ball with your lower back supported and feet flat on the floor 2. Hold a weight plate against your chest with both hands 3. Lean back until your torso is at a 45-degree angle for the weighted exercise ball sit up starting position 4. Contract your abs and curl your torso up toward your knees while keeping the weight secure 5. Lower back down slowly to complete one weighted exercise ball sit up rep

Form Tips

• Keep the weight plate close to your chest throughout the weighted exercise ball sit up movement • Move slowly and control the ball - don't let it roll around • Focus on your abs doing the work, not your neck or shoulders • Keep your feet planted firmly for better weighted exercise ball sit up stability

Common Mistakes

• Using too much weight too soon in weighted exercise ball sit up training • Pulling on your neck instead of using your abs to lift up • Moving too fast and losing control of the ball during weighted exercise ball sit up reps
