Reaching Medicine Ball Sit-ups

Reaching Medicine Ball Sit-ups

Reaching Medicine Ball Sit-ups use the weight of the ball to improve visible upper ab definition, adding resistance right where a standard sit-up is weakest. Lie on your back with knees bent, holding a medicine ball at your chest. Perform a full sit-up, reaching the ball forward and up as you reach the top position, then lower back down with control to the starting position.

Crunches: Bent Knee (abs)

Crunches: Bent Knee (abs)

Crunches: Bent Knee are the classic, tried-and-true ab exercise, effective when you focus on a controlled contraction rather than momentum. Lie on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor. Curl your shoulders and upper back off the floor toward your knees, holding an isometric squeeze at the top for a beat before lowering back down with control.

Thunderbolt Pose (Vajrasana)

Thunderbolt Pose (Vajrasana)

Kneel and sit back on your heels with the tops of your feet in contact with the floor. Your soles will stretch and curve into a good arch underneath you. Keep your big toes and heels together so there is no gap or space between the feet. If the front of your ankles are not flexible enough to rest comfortably on the floor without a space, use a small towel rolled into a tight tube shape to place underneath, and gradually use smaller cloths until you no longer need this prop. Sit with your back and spine straight but not tense. Let your spine lengthen upward without forcing it. Imagine a string attached to the top of your head up to a bunch of helium balloons. On your breath inhale relax and balance, then on the exhale allow your spine to lengthen and straighten, stretching gently upward. Aim to stay in this position for 5 minutes. If this is uncomfortable or you experience "pins and needles," you probably need a larger rolled towel beneath the front of your ankles.
