A similar exercise&#8230; with a twist!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>HOW TO&#8230;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Again, get in a High Plank position with your feet on the stability ball.<\/li><li>Start rotating your hips to the side until your pelvis is facing sideways.<\/li><li>While rotating, pull up your knees a little bit for the crunch movement. Your lower leg is resting on the ball, with the upper leg resting on the lower leg.<\/li><li>In this exercise, you cannot move the legs up too far, as you will lose balance easily. Anything up to 90 degrees between the upper body and the knees is fine.<\/li><li>Keep the position for 2 seconds and then move the ball back again. Push with your feet and rotate your hips back in line with your shoulders until you are in a full high plank again.<\/li><li>This completes the stability ball rotating side crunch. Repeat on the other side.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Note:<\/strong> Although the picture has me looking sideways, in the direction of the rotation, it is perfectly fine to keep looking downward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Goal:<\/strong> Try to repeat the stability ball plank crunch 5 times on each side before moving off the ball.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Variation: <\/strong>You can build up to this exercise by first starting the rotation only. Add the crunch once you are comfortable rotating on your side with your legs on the ball.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stability Ball Rotating Side Crunch<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2889,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"image","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[177],"tags":[199,178,180],"class_list":["post-1534","post","type-post","status-publish","format-image","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-planking","tag-crunch","tag-plank","tag-stability-ball","post_format-post-format-image"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.befinallyfit.com\/weight-loss\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1534","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.befinallyfit.com\/weight-loss\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.befinallyfit.com\/weight-loss\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.befinallyfit.com\/weight-loss\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.befinallyfit.com\/weight-loss\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1534"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.befinallyfit.com\/weight-loss\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1534\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3486,"href":"https:\/\/www.befinallyfit.com\/weight-loss\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1534\/revisions\/3486"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.befinallyfit.com\/weight-loss\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2889"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.befinallyfit.com\/weight-loss\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1534"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.befinallyfit.com\/weight-loss\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1534"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.befinallyfit.com\/weight-loss\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1534"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
