5 Best Core Workouts For Men To Target Your Core And Build Strong Abs

#5 Swiss Ball Crunch

The exercise ball crunch targets the core to a greater extent than the regular variant.

Instructions:

Step 1: Lie on a swiss ball with your lower back resting on the curvature of the ball. Bend your knees and ensure that the thighs are parallel to the floor. Plant your feet firmly on the ground for maximum stability. Slightly lower your torso to complete the initial position of the exercise.

Step 2: Move your torso upwards by contracting your abdomen. Ensure that the neck is stationary and the lower back is in contact with the ball throughout the duration of the exercise.

Step 3: Pause for a moment and return to the starting position.

Perform the exercise for the recommended number of times.

Important tip: Focus on a smooth motion while performing this exercise. You could use dumbbells as an advanced variation for added resistance.
