Crunching and Sweeping
Try this type of crunch on an 8” inflatable ball. Begin by sitting on the floor. Place the ball at the small of your back. Your legs should be bent at the knees and your feet should be placed flat on the floor. Stretch your arms out to the sides and keep them straight. Keep your abs tight and push your right arm back as you lower your torso to a 45 degree angle with the floor. Crunch up and then lower yourself back again, pushing your left arm back. Repeat the motion for 3 sets of 15 repetitions.

Altered Downward Dog
To do the altered downward dog exercise on the foam roller, begin by standing straight, with your abs tight. Place the roller, horizontally, on the floor a few feet in front of you. Make sure that your abs and glutes are tight. Keep your legs and arms straight throughout the exercise. Bend at the waist to place your hands on the roller. Move your feet backward a couple of feet and then lift your right leg until it is parallel to the ground. Hold for 20 seconds. Lower your leg and lift the left leg in the same way. Hold for 20 seconds. Now move your feet closer to the roller and clench your abs to roll up. Repeat the movement for 2 sets.
