2 Swiss Ball Crunch

Crunches on the Swiss ball offer several advantages over more conventional methods and machines. Using the ball facilitates full flexion and extension of your spine thereby training your abdominals through a full range of motion. Crunches on the ball also promote balance and stability stimulating your deeper core muscles in addition to the prominent rectus abdominus or ’six-pack’ muscle. When done correctly the Swiss Ball crunch is super effective.

  2. Alex1981990 on May 28th, 2009

    What if I ain’t got the equipment for that?I don’t have a ball can this exercise be subtituted by another one like normal crunches?

    wow, it’s amazing how steady he is using the ball, when i try it, it’s very hard to stay steady and do your workout. but i guess u need to do it more often to get better.

    good technique, so many people get this wrong even me.

    this guy looks like he weighs about 170 or something so unless your abnormally tall, the same size ball should be fine. the only difference for a bigger ball would be how far back you can bend

    If you are doing them right then you will more than likely need a break before 10 reps.the better your form or the more correctly you perform them, will result in you tiring from lower reps.

    I do 6000 crunches in one sitting with a motorcycle on my forehead. When I was 92 I could do 8000.

  18. yumtaco on May 28th, 2009

    ehhh?? 10-20-30 ur doin em wrong?? hmm i think it means u shud be doing more?? i mean i do like 3 sets of 150-200 on ball then other exercises and i have a great six pack at 16 but ehhhh??

  19. ak1ash on May 28th, 2009

    Did you do 200 crunches at a go.

  20. MAGICANTRIX on May 28th, 2009

    I got a 6pack from doing 200 crunches on the ball, 100 of which involved weights. I did this after I did 50 leg raises(bar or stand) and did the ab workout after my other exercises. After doing this for 2-3 I got amazing results. Awesome exercise as it doesn’t hurt the back and suprisingly easy to do!

  21. Yoga1978 on May 28th, 2009

    he said, if you’re doing 10,20, 30, or more you are probably doing it wrong? why is it wrong?
    I do like 30, and it’s hard around that so I stop there…but why is it not right?

  22. SAT9terminus on May 28th, 2009

    That’s right…THIS is the Swiss training ball for that extra fella who trains while in his rest. this helps with focus and other things for me and those of us who know the rewards of hard work, and the faith to see it through.

    Good go!

  23. psteeleneg on May 28th, 2009

    I raise up to cruch and the ball rolls backwards and my feet sleed farward and i end up on my butt with my back on the floor

  24. psteeleneg on May 28th, 2009

    I just keep falling off the ball

  25. legggggggggy on May 28th, 2009

    If your back hurts youre proberly doing something wrong. Your legs should be in a 90 degree angle. Use a mirror to make sure youre doing this right. Many people forget to push their hips up and the ball has to make stability to your lower back, thats why its much better than crunches on the floor. And also only touch your neck easy, dont pull your neck.
