2 sets, 12 reps per side (24 total)

 

Place your lower-middle back firmly on top of a Swiss ball, with your hands behind your head. Contract your core — specifically your obliques — and slowly crunch upwards across your body, so that your right elbow points straight at your left knee.

Hold a strong contraction for 1 second, return down to full extension, and repeat the same movement for the opposite side. Complete for 12 reps per side. Once this becomes too easy, increase the difficulty by holding a dumbbell behind your head.
