  • Hands are resting lightly on the ground in front of the exercise ball.
Action
  • Pull your left arm up to your side.
  • At the same time lift your left leg straight up.
  • Roll over onto your right hip so your left shoulder is pointing up toward the ceiling.

  • Return to the starting position.
  • Repeat on the other side.
