S.B. Pike Crunch

This abdominal exercise focuses on the lower abs and hip flexors but many other muscles facilitate this movement including tibialus (shins), quadriceps, TVA (deep abdominal wall), lower back and shoulders. Start with hands on the floor and feet on a s.b. in push up position. Pull ball toward hands by lifting hips high and curling toes to shins. Top position is when bottoms of your feet are on top of ball, hips are above shoulders and head is down in neutral position. Make sure to keep abs pulled in toward spine throughout range of motion.
