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
