Instructions on how to do Ab Crunch w/ Stability Ball
Step 1:
Place both feet on top of the stability ball. Hook your heels into the stability ball and use it to anchor your body during the crunches.
Step 2:
Keep the stability ball tucked close to your body with your legs. Pull your knees in with your lower abs while crunching up towards the ball with your upper abs.
Step 3:
Lower yourself back down to the starting position and repeat.
The exercise ball should help to anchor your lower back to the floor and isolate your abs. You should feel this exercise right away but won't see lasting results for 4-6 weeks.

I am no expert but I think other things must also happen to have some abs to *show off*. First there must be very little body fat around your abs. That means very little body fat overall since it is not possible to *spot reduce*. Also, you should consider doing other abs exercises in addition to hit the rest of the abdominals so they are all well developed.

what is the benefit of this exercise as compared to a standard crunch with feet on the floor?
