Balance on the Ball

How to Do It

  1. Lie down on the ball in prone position, with ball placed under your abs and hips, hands on the floor.
  2. Hold that position for 20 to 30 seconds, keeping your body in a straight line, abs pulled in, hands directly under shoulders.
  3. Keeping that position, slowly raise your right arm out to the side, taking care not to roll on the ball or allow any part of your body to collapse.
  4. Hold that for a few seconds and switch arms.
