Back Lift on the Ball
Try this exercise to tone up your abs and strengthen your back. Begin by placing your abdomen on the balance ball. Keep your legs straight behind you with your abs tight. Place both hands behind your head with your elbows up and out to the sides. At this point, make sure that your body makes a straight line from head to toe. Now use your abs to lower your torso forward to where your nose is just a few inches from the ball. Use your abs to raise your torso back up. Repeat this motion for 3 sets of 10 to start.

Sit-Up With The Ball
Try this exercise for your abs. Sit on the floor with your legs straight out in front of you. Sit nice a tall, keep your abs tight and your back straight.

Then, engage your abs to bring you back up to where your back is straight and perpendicular to the floor again. Repeat this motion for 3 sets of 12 to start.
