Best Abs - Modified Captain's Chair

Works abdominals and shoulder stabilizers, as well as hip flexors and quads.

Gin demonstrates this modified version of the captain's chair using 2 padded, sturdy barstools. Using a regular captain's chair enables you to fully lengthen at the hip, but as discussed in the Best Abs article review, people tend to swing the legs, using momentum to perform the exercise.

In this version, your knees are bent as you lift and stabilize the core to hold steady. This one minute clip progresses to a "harder" variation and then a "hardest".

Please note that you have to be strong enough in the shoulders to support your body weight, so this is NOT A BEGINNER EXERCISE.

Best Ball Exercise - The Prone Tuck and Roll Plus

Works abs and low back, as well as upper back (lats), and obliques. This is a fully integrated advanced ball exercise that works additional stabilizers at the same time.

This stability ball exercise utilizes a step platform and starts with the standard prone, tuck and roll. Gin demonstrates 2 additional variations - one that also works the upper back muscles, the other the obliques.

Please note - This is not a "starter" ball exercise and we recommend a high level of confidence using a stability ball.
