1. Heel taps
This exercise help develop your lower abs. Simply lie on the Bosu Ball with your hips resting on the top of the ball and your hands on your sides to support your weight. Bend your knees and keep your hips on a 90-degree angle, so that your legs and knees are up in the air. Slowly lower one of you heels and tap it on the ground. Then, return back to the starting position and do the same thing with your other heel.

2. Flutter kicks
Flutter kicks also target the lower abdomen. Lie on the Bosu Ball again, with your hips on the top of the ball and extend your legs together on a 45-degree angle from the ground. Alternately do straight leg kicks in a controlled fashion.

3. Leg raises
This is another exercise for your lower abs. Do the starting position with the heel taps but instead of bending your knees, keep them vertically straight up in the air. Keep your legs together and slowly lower it down until your body is in a straight diagonal position. Go back to the starting position and repeat the steps several times.

4. Abs crunches
This is one of the most effective exercises for training both your lower and upper abs. Just sit on the ball and balance your weight by spreading your legs. Then, slowly lower your upper body so that it is parallel to the ground. Make sure that a small portion of your back is also against the ball. Place your hands behind you head as you normally would when doing crunches. Then, come up and lift your upper body as you exhale and inhale again as you come back. Repeat these steps until your abdominal muscles feel worked out.

5. Crunch and leg raise combo
This is a great workout combo for your abdominal muscles. Lie on your back on the Bosu Ball with your knees bent. On one side of your body, extend your leg and arm. Then, as you exhale, lift your extended arm and leg so that your abdomen is crunched as you reach your leg with your arm. Do this with the other side of your body.
