I always love trying new ab exercises. Doing the same old stuff over and over again leaves me craving a little spice and excitement. Moreover, our muscles can become accustomed to our routine – so it’s wise to switch things up from time to time. So, I was really excited to try the “figure 8″ ab exercise (it targets the obliques) at the gym this morning. When I tried the exercise, I used a weighted medicine ball. But fear not, you can try this at home using a pillow as a simple alternative.

Im going to try that out one of these nights when im bored. thanks Davey
I could see how using the medicine ball instead of a pillow would be much more challenging. Great advice about switching up exercises!
Thanks!
Yes, the medicine ball – because it adds weight – totally makes the exercise! But the pillow is great for people just starting out.
i put the mute on and watched the video just so i could see u do that lol. but its cool. im listening to bjork – hunter.
wow, simple yet effective and i’ve been looking for a nice tummy exercise for awhile. thanks a ton for your 1:08 share.
