Overview

The weighted overhead crunch (on exercise ball) is an exercise targeting the abdominal muscles, particularly the rectus abdominis or six-pack muscles. The exercise is performed by lying on an exercise ball with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor. Hold a weight in your hands and extend your arms overhead. Crunch your torso up so that your chest touches your thighs, then slowly lower back down. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
