Instructions

Preparation

  1. Position the exercise ball on the floor and make sure it’s relatively close to a wall.
  2. Sit on the ball and find your balance.
  3. Place both hands on each side of your head with your fingers lightly touching the side of your face.

Execution

  1. Walk a little farther from the ball so you roll on your back completely. Keep feet flat on the ground.
  2. Lift your shoulders up and begin to do a crunch, keeping your abdominal muscles tight.
  3. Exhale as you crunch up.

Return

  1. Slowly go back to your initial position.
  2. Inhale as you lower yourself down.
