Carve Out Your Abs With These 8 Killer Swiss Ball Exercises
3. Swiss Ball Plank

Main Target: Transverse Abdominis (inner abs)
2 Sets, 60 seconds
Start with your forearms firmly on the floor and your feet fully extended out on top of a Swiss ball. Your upper arms should sit directly below your shoulders — this is starting position.
Tighten your core, balance the Swiss ball in place, and hold the position for 60 seconds. Keep your body flat throughout and don’t let your lower back slump or arch. If you can’t complete 60 seconds initially, shoot to lengthen the hold and beat your best time with each successive workout.
Once 60 seconds becomes too easy progress the hold to 1 minute 15s, 1 minute 30s, 2 minutes, and so on.
Exercise: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8

When he’s not working on his (or somebody else’s) abs, whipping up Eggocados, or running a Tough Mudder, he’s probably off yelling at a Carolina Panthers game somewhere.
