- Leg raises: Stand and lift one leg so your thigh is parallel to the floor with your calf perpindicular to the floor. Then rotate you leg out, keeping your thigh parallel to the floor. This works your lower abs out.
- Ball back raises: Get one of those large exercise balls. Lay with your stomach on it, brace yourself with your hands and lift your legs. It works out the lower back.
- Medicine ball twists: I learned this when I used to box. Hold a medicine ball in front of you. Keep your trunk and abs tight and twist using your legs. This is a little bit of an advance move, because you need to keep you torso and abs locked and move with your legs. Check out the video below to see how it works. The keep point is to keep your torso firm using your abs and twist with the medicine balls.
- Medicine ball back swings: Hold the medicine ball above your head and then lower it down to your feet. Be very careful doing this. Start off without a medicine ball. This works the back but lighter weight is better. The back muscles are very small.
The ab workout is to help with the running cramps
