This exercise is for beginners and intermediate levels. It incorporates power and stability working the total body. The benefits of this exercise help increase multi-planar neuromuscular efficiency and flexibility.

  • Draw your belly button inward.
  • Start with optimal posture, lifting the stability ball from a low position to a high position, rotating movement from the trunk outward.
  • Weight should be on the heel of the foot allowing the hips to pivot near the end of the range of motion.
