• I had a brilliant idea last night, I decided to
  revisit some old exercises that used to be
  popular and use a stability ball for six pack
  training!  I remember when these balls were very
  popular most clubs had hour long classes devoted
  only to stability balls. When I first moved to my
  current house, my sister-in-law taught a core
  strength class.

• . It was designed to help women with six pack
  training. The exercises looked simple, but if
  youre looking for a good six pack training
  workout, using a stability ball to intensify your
  routine is tough to beat!

• For those who dont know what Im talking about,
  or dont remember them, stability balls are large
  balls. They come in three sizes and the diameters
  are based on height.  To do your six pack
  training session, pick a ball that you feel
  comfortable using (which should go without
  saying).

• People up to about 52 tall should consider
  using the smaller sized (45 cm) stability balls,
  53 up to about 58 may want to opt for the
  medium sized balls (55cm), and anyone over 58
  should use the larger sized ball (65cm).

• The whole concept behind these balls is that
  regardless of the exercise you are doing, having
  to keep the ball stable causes total engagement
  of core and back muscles at all times

• You can expect to get a six pack quicker than
  normal if you implement the exercises I will be
  going over into your six pack training routine.

• Beginning Stability Ball for Six Pack Training

• Six Pack Training Abdominal Crunch
• Of course you can do a crunch the old fashioned
  way on the floor, but what fun is that? Instead,
  doing a crunch on the stability ball will
  dramatically improve your chances of being able
  to maximize your six pack training routine.

• To do this six pack training move on the ball
  simply follow the instructions here! First, sit
  on the ball with your back straight and then move
  your feet forward two steps. This will place you
  in the position of leaning into the ball and
  balancing it with your body.

• Cross your arms over your chest and then tighten
  your abs. Next you want to crunch and here comes
  the important part. Hold and then slowly lower
  yourself back down onto the ball.  To get maximum
  six pack training, I suggest performing three
  sets of these with 20 repetitions each.

• Six Pack Training Back Extension
• This is basically the reverse of a crunch, and it
  is a great way to strengthen your back muscles as
  well. To perform this exercise lay on the ball
  face down, with your hips at the top of the
  ball.  You will have to spread your feet out some
  and use your toes to keep the ball from rolling. 

• Place your hands on top of your head and then
  lift your torso up by contracting your back
  muscles. This will also cause you to fully engage
  your abs. Now you want to slowly lower back into
  the starting position and then repeat 20 times. I
  would do 3 sets of this exercise.

• Six Pack Training Stability Ball Roll
• This is a great exercise to use in your six pack
  training routine! I have found women find this
  exercise especially beneficial. What you need to
  do is start by kneeling in front of the ball and
  place your hands on top of it.  Slowly roll the
  ball forward, away from you until your forearms
  are resting on the top. 

• Hold this pose for a couple seconds (5-15, it
  depends on how easy this is for you) and then
  slowly roll the ball back towards you until you
  return to your starting position.  If you do
  these correctly you will feel an automatic
  tightening of your abs as you perform both
  directions.  Repeat 20 times per set for 3 sets.

• Six Pack Training Opposite Arm and Leg Raise
•  Ive seen these done in six pack training
  sessions on the floor without the ball, but to be
  honest, theyre far more effective on a stability
  ball.  If you want to use these in your six pack
  training, you need to increase the intensity to
  more than the simple floor version. 

• To do this exercise, lay on top of the ball with
  your toes and hands on the floor.  Slowly raise
  one arm and the opposite leg until they are
  straight and level to the floor.  Then repeat
  using the other arm and leg.  Do 40 of these (20
  each side) and repeat twice more for a total of
  three sets.  This six pack training set also
  works your back, glutes and quads.

• As you can now tell, using a stability ball for
  six pack training is extremely beneficial if you
  want to get a six pack faster. If you dont have
  a stability ball, many places sell them for
  around 20.00.  Make sure that you have an air
  pump handy, but dont pump them up fully. 

• You will want a little bit of give to the ball
  for your six pack training.  Make sure to keep
  away these from pets and children as, while they
  are pretty rugged, these stability balls can be
  punctured by sharp objects. Regarding six pack
  training, these are some of the best moves out
  there.

• The trick to using a stability ball for six pack
  training is to do each move slowly and completely
  (which you should be doing regardless to protect
  your form).  These exercises really cannot be
  rushed as you will lose your balance and fall off
  or injury yourself through poor form. 

• I did a bunch of these last night and although my
  dogs thought I was crazy, it was one of my better
  six pack training workouts this week.
