How can you do this at home? Many of us don't have a weight bench in which to tuck our legs, so you can get your partner or roommate to hold your legs.
Another alternative would be to not use the Swiss ball and lie on your back with the weight in the same position and your legs bent.
Either way, don't use too heavy of a weight or do too many crunches, unless you want to get the belly pooch.
Exercise Instructions:
Setup your the weighted exercise ball sit up by getting a exercise ball and something to rest your feet against. This could be a wall, or as shown in the video a flat bench placed at 90 degrees. Get the desired wight plate and sit on the exercise ball. Place your feet under, or up against, your support. Hold the weight above your head. Keep it close to your head. Slowly lower yourself down until your shoulder blades start to touch the exercise ball. Pause, then raise yourself back to the starting position. Repeat for desired reps.
Tips & Advice:
Keep the weight in place throughout the exercise, don't move it forward/back.
