A dynamic core exercise

Core exercises target the abdominal muscles, the obliques and all deep muscles in the hips and around the spine.
Rotational exercises have to be included in your routine: in this one, abs and obliques are very well recruted. You have to keep the balance on the stability ball, so deep muscles are activated for stabilization.

Start with a comfortable range of motion to control your balance, then let it go: watch this short video and look the work of the feet and legs for the control of the movement.
I use this exercise with boxers: we use a 12 lbs medicine ball and I garantee this is a complete and challenging exercise.

Exercise Secrets
For every pound you want to lose, you have to cut back 3500 calories or expend 3500 calories worth of energy above your normal activity. Exercising is the answer. You can lose weight minus the deprivation and research has proven those who exercised peeled an average of six pounds a year. So get active!

When you exercise make sure you always eat 3-4 hours before. Your best choice is a high-carbohydrate, low-fat meal, with foods like breakfast cereal, fruit, yogurt, fruit juice, bread, pasta and rice. Doing both aerobics and weight training is the optimal way to lose more fat and gain more muscle. Be creative with your exercise routine. You can use exercise equipment in combination with you own body for the best results. Here are two wonder works for a sculpted body. The squat is an excellent compound exercise and it really works the quadriceps, hamstrings and glutes. The bench press works multiple muscles at once. It works the chest, the shoulders and the triceps. Oh yeah, smile; it does the facial muscles wonders as well as your attitude while exercising.
