Medicine Ball Abs.

Three medicine ball abs exercises that will get you in great shape.

No.1. Sicilian Crunch.
Lay on the floor raise your upper body as high as possible by crunching your rib cage towards your pelvis. Just before top of the move straighten your arms to raise the medicine ball.

No.2. Medicine Ball Taps.
Sit on the floor holding the medicine ball in front with the arms slightly bent. Lean slightly back, lift your feet off the ground. Twist to the right and touch the medicine ball to the floor, twist to the left and touch the medicine ball to the floor, all the time following medicine ball with your eyes.

No. 3. Medicine Ball Curl Ups.
Lay on the floor and use both hands to hold the medicine ball above your head and barely off the floor. Bend your knees 90 degrees, place your feet flat on the floor. Perform a classic sit-up by raising your torso into a sitting position. Go back to the start. Extending your arms creates a long lever for your abs to pull against while the ball provides extra resistance.

Along with a 5 mile run, 75 of each of the above medicine ball exercises in 3 sets of 25 using a 15lb medicine ball was my workout for 25th June.
