Sets: 1-2

Reps: 10 (5 each arm)

• On all fours, place the big physio ball against a wall and up against your glutes.

• Inhale to prepare for the movement allowing ribs to expand.

• Exhale and gently press your hips back into the ball, pressing against the wall. Draw in your pelvic floor and core. Lift one arm out in front of you.

• Inhale when the arm returns back down to starting position to reset.

• Exhale, press into ball, draw in core and reach with the opposite arm.

• Pressing into the ball is a cue to keep your core drawn in as you hold this position. Make sure the abs are drawing in vs. pushing out.

• Perform this exercise slow and controlled. Avoid rocking side to side.

Modifications:

• Remove arm reach and just lift hand from floor.

• Decrease resistance placed back into the ball.
