Exercise Ball Crunch Instructions

  1. Sit on an exercise ball with your feet flat on the floor.
  2. Walk your feet forward and lean back until the ball is under your lower back.
  3. Cross your arms over your chest or place your hands lightly behind your head.
  4. Crunch your upper body up, lifting your shoulders off the ball.
  5. Squeeze your abs at the top, then slowly lower back down.
  6. Repeat for your desired number of reps.

Exercise Ball Crunch Tips

  • Keep your feet flat and stable throughout the movement.
  • Keep movements slow and controlled. 
  • Exhale as you crunch up, and inhale as you return to the start.

I guess he meant that you have to keep your hands on your chest to make it harder to cheat, but I doesn't feel any difference
