Stability Ball Wood Chops
When performing this exercise make sure to bend at the trunk. Do not use your arms to move the weight. Once you get set in the starting position, your arms angles in relation to your body should remain the same throughout the exercise.
Stability Ball Knee Tucks
This particular exercise is torture. Make sure to not let your back sway when your legs are fully extended. Your core should remain tight.
Stability Ball Roll-outs
If you feel pain or discomfort in your lower back during this exercise, your abs are too weak. Work on getting them stronger for another month, and then try the exercise again. Notice that throughout the exercise the lordotic curve in my lower back always remains in a neutral position.
Stability Ball Reverse Crunch
This exercise is excellent for the lower abs. Notice at the top of the repetition, your lower back should come off the floor. Most people will be too weak to do this properly. Do not swing your legs during this movement.
