In celebration of Ballantyne’s Day, Men’s Health fitness expert Craig Ballantyne (www.turbulencetrainingforabs.com)
1. Plank with arms on the Ball (30% more effective than plain ol’ planks, according to
Men’s Health magazine)
2. Ball Rollouts (probably my favorite ball ab exercise)
3. Hanging Knee Raises (classic exercise that folks do wrong…but if done right, will work
the abs safely and effectively)
4. DB Renegade Row (this is the biggest surprise on the list…but it works the lower
obliques incredibly hard)
5. Ball Jackknife (always a tough one for beginners to get the hang of…but when they do,
they get a lot of six pack ab benefits)
6. Ball Jackknife Rotation (a tougher version of the jackknife)
7. Ball Jackknife-Pushup Combo
8. X-Body Mountain Climber (one of my favorites…so simple, yet so effective)
9. X-Body Mountain Climber with Hands on Ball
10. X-Body Mountain Climber with Feet on Ball (an even more effective version of the
regular X-Body mountain climber)
