Stability Ball Back Crunch – Lower back exercise

http://AskTheTrainer.com/stability-ball-exercises.html

Perform this exercise under control (slower than the video demonstration). Make sure you feel the muscles working

You don’t win a prize for doing a certain number of reps.

The stability ball back crunch is for those who want to strengthen their lower back muscles.

This exercise is not for everybody. Specifically, if you have anterior pelvic tilt, or an excessive lower back arch, you would not want to perform this exercise.

It is important to keep your glute muscles contracted for this motion.

You can increase resistance by holding a weight plate above your head.
