Try this exercise to help build the strength of your back, your abs and your arms. Begin by placing your right foot on the balance board, about five feet in front of your left foot. Bend your right knee while keeping your left leg straight. Hold a kettle bell in your left hand and make sure that your abs are tight. Bend at the waist and rest your right forearm on your right thigh. Now lift the weight up to your shoulder and then lower it towards the floor again. Repeat for 2 sets of 10 repetitions (on each arm).

Crunching Elbows, Weighted
Here’s a type of crunch that can be done 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. Grab a 5 lbs. weight and hold it close to your chest. Keep your abs tight and push your right elbow back as you lower your torso until it is at a 45 degree angle with the floor. Lift up and then lower yourself back again, pushing your left elbow back. Repeat the motion for 3 sets of 15 repetitions.
