Swiss Ball and Lower Abdominal Muscles

I may have posted this years ago:  Hold a Swiss ball between your legs. The exercise is harder if you hold it between your calves and keep your legs straight (knees not locked). Raise your legs to a 90-degree angle to your hips and then lower them to two to two inches above the ground for four sets of10 repetitions.

Work Out in Different Planes

 A good way to get out of a plateau is to work out in different planes: frontal, sagittal, and transverse.

For instance, grab a kettlebell and lift it up and down slowly, then across the front of your body, then front to back. After that, go from over your left shoulder to your right foot, then over your right shoulder to your left foot.

Add jumps from one foot to another as you are doing this for a plyometric workout.
