Get that six pack today! Watch this workout video and learn the easy and effective ways to get the ab results you want. In this video, Derek shows his fitness models how to correctly do the basic crunch using a medicine ball. This exercise is a complete core body workout that can transform your obliques and other abdominal muscles. First, Derek demonstrates how to do the exercise himself with simple movements and step-by-step instructions. Then, he adjusts and corrects his fitness models on their posture and technique.

Add variety to the exercise by putting on a different type of resistance or changing the position of your legs and hands to really feel the squeeze. Slow, full-range movements, steady breathing and focusing on the isometric squeeze (the double pause) are key elements to getting the bodybuilding or toning results you want. Derek recommends doing 2 sets of 5 to 10 repetitions if you are a beginner or 3 to 5 sets of 15 to 25 repetitions if you are more advanced.

You do not need any equipment to do this exercise. Any fitness level accepted. Do this exercise in the comfort of your own home or at the gym.
