Techniques
  1. Laying on your back, hands flat on the floor by your side and the ball on the floor in front of your bum
  2. Grip the ball around the centre with the inside of your ankles
  3. Slowly riase the ball away from you so that you are moving with your hips as well as your knees
  4. Now slowly return the ball back to the starting position so the ball is just above your bum but not touching the floor
  5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until you can no longer maintain technique
Tips
  • The higher the ball is from the floor the easier it will be, so begin high and as you get stronger and more comfortable, lower the ball towards the floor
  • Be sure to keep your stomach muscles contracted throughout this exercise
