Medicine Ball Ab Workout Exercises

Author: admin | Filed under: Health and Fitness




CLICK HERE for a FREE WORKOUT!! www.TurbulenceTraining.com Youre about to discover an amazing medicine ball abdominal exercise circuit published in Men’s Health Medicine magazine from the December 2008 issue. If you’ve seen the magazine, then you will have seen there are a lot of crunches and even some sit-ups in there. But, if you’re not an advanced college athlete, then you probably don’t need to be doing those exercises. You especially want to avoid those types of exercises if you sit at a desk all day and have lower back problems. So, I’m going to take most of the exercises from that program and do them in this circuit, but replace the sit-ups and crunches with alternative versions that are still effective for your abs, but easier on your lower back. This is going to be a 10 exercise circuit, with 20 repetitions per exercise. If you’re advanced, then you can use a medicine ball; otherwise you can use a basketball, or a soccer ball. You will start the medicine ball abdominal circuit with the big circles exercise. So, place the ball above your head and then bring it down and around, and up the other side, and then around again. Continue this motion for 10 repetitions, and then switch directions for another 10 repetitions. The second abdominal exercise is the Woodchopper. To perform this exercise, place the ball out in front of you and swing the ball straight up and down, making sure to squat down while bringing the ball down. Repeat for 20 repetitions. Once you’ve …

  14. Has anyone tried this for a longer period of time and saw any big changes? I’ve been doing this for 2 or 3 weeks now and I’ve already seen that I’ve “forced” my stomach to loose some weight, it’s awesome.

  16. Thank YOU!

  18. This is a great video. But alot of these workout you can do with a kettlebell.

  20. @syracuze2 I have good friends with degrees from good colleges in Exercise Phys and they weren’t happy at all with the out of date curriculum. There’s definitely things in Mens Health that are a joke, but a degree certainly doesn’t make you good at what you do. Time in service and staying in academia holds much more weight with me. This guy does just that. And he does have a degree too.

  22. @GTSPerformance Men’s Health is a joke to anyone who actually has a degree in Exercise Science from an accredited university

  28. I want to buy a medicine ball but I zm curious about something rather simple: can’t you do some of the med ball exercise with weights? Regarding some exercises, exactly what makes a medicine ball a better buy than, say, a light pair of dumbbbells? Take something like twists with a med ball: what makes a med ball better than a pair of dumbbbells? Note that I am not attacking med balls, as I will probably buy one anyway; I just want to know why they are better than weights for certain exercises.

  30. What weight ball should I use. I am only a beginner.

  38. IF you are an athlete or into body building, losing fat you should know the name Craig Ballantine (hope I spelled it right) He’s the man that can keep up with anyone from big bodybulders to lean, he’s a pure example of someone in tune with his body. If you want to be fit and strong you should strive to be like Craig. Even the big guys like Vince Delmonte or John Romaniello mention him in their programs and categorize him as an example for awesomeness.
