Twist on the Ball
*Check with Your Physician Before Beginning Any Exercise Program!

How to Do It

Place your feet on either side of the ball (twisting your ankles so that you are hugging the ball). Hold your body in a straight line with abs pulled in, hips straight and hands directly under shoulders. Slowly twist the ball to the right, keeping torso tight and straight, then to the left. Make sure your body doesn't 'sag' in the middle and that you don't hold your breath. Do as many as you can for 10 to 20 seconds, then rest and repeat.
