Swiss Ball Dumbbell Sit Up

How To Do A Swiss Ball Dumbbell Sit Up Correctly

The Swiss Ball Dumbbell Sit Up is another great exercise that targets the abs.

To get started:

1. Sit on a swiss ball while holding both ends of the dumbbell, with your hands against your chest.
2. Under control, roll your body down on the swiss ball, so your hips and shoulder blades are in contact with the ball.
3. Press your feet through the floor and contract your abs to stabilize your body.
4. Engage your abs to initiate the sit up, stopping just short of being completely upright, as you want to maintain tension on the abs throughout the movement.
5. Under control, slowly lower yourself back to the start and repeat.
