Instructions

Reps 8-12
Sets   1-3

Reps 12-15
Sets    3-4

Starting Position: Lie supine on the floor, place middle of caves over apex of ball. Position arms on floor slightly away from hips with palms down.

Action: Keeping abs tight, slowly lift your hips off the floor (squeezing the buttocks) so that a straight line is formed from the ankles, hips, and shoulders. Keep toes pointing at ceiling and head on floor. Hold for a few seconds and lower.

*Note: to make it easier, place ball under knees rather than under heels.  To make it more difficult, cross your arms across your chest, which will challenge your balance even more!

* If you feel any discomfort in your lower back or neck stop immediately.

Muscles toned/strengthened: Lower back and Glutes.
