Starting Position
  • Sitting on the exercise ball correctly is necessary for future exercise ball exercises.
  • Chest should be up, shoulder blades down and back, and head back over your shoulders.
  • Keep your feet flat on the ground shoulder width or slightly further apart.
Action
  • Your lower back should be stabilized using your transversus abdominus and lower back stabilizers.
Prime Movers
Physio Tips
  • As you think about activating your abdominal muscles don't forget to breath.
  • If you are having difficulty with this go back and try Abdominal Hollowing.
