Sit centered on a stability ball with your feet flat on the floor, shoulder-width apart. Position the ball so your hips and knees are bent at 90 degrees, ensuring a stable base.
Exhale forcefully as you crunch and twist (concentric phase) and inhale as you return to the center (eccentric phase).

Flex and rotate the torso until a strong contraction is felt in the obliques without allowing the lower body to shift on the ball.
