Like leg raise!

1. On an exercise mat, lie on your back, arms alongside your body, palms facing downwards. Stretch out your legs in front of you and press your feet together.
2. Contract your abs and slowly raise your legs from the ground. Stop when you’ve formed a 45-degree angle.
3. Gently lower your legs until they’re two inches from the ground, and bring them back up to a 45-degree angle.  http://www.divine.ca/en/health/exercise-finder/c_266_i_23/leg-raise-1.html?do=single_exercise&part_id=1&muscle_id=

Sit-ups

Just got home from the gym. 100 sit-ups done, only 500 left for the week challenge . Nice!
How is it going for you?

Today I did my sit-ups with a exercise ball, its fun and easy.

Stability ball are more effective for the stomach muscles than lying on the floor. It also doesn't hurt your back and it also great for the balance!
