Balancing Act

Move by Crunch fitness instructor Jennifer Galardi, creator of the Crunch: Latin Rhythms DVD

Targets: Shoulders, abs, obliques, butt, and legs

Lie faceup on ball with your back on its center and feet flat on floor, holding a dumbbell in each hand.
Extend arms out to sides at shoulder level, palms up. Maintaining balance with abs engaged, extend left leg at hip level in front of you and raise right arm toward ceiling, directly over shoulder; lower arm and leg. (To make it easier, just extend left leg without raising right arm.)
Switch sides and repeat to complete 1 rep.
Do 10 reps.
