Place the fitball about half a metre from wall with the valve at the top. Put your thumb on the valve and then sit on the ball, in front of your thumb. Plant your feet shoulder width apart and with toes touching the wall.

Step 1

Put your hands to your temples and lower yourself with a straight back until your stomach (abdominal) muscles have fully engaged.

Step 2

Step 3

Raise yourself only a short distance, keeping stomach muscles fully engaged.

Repeat twelve to fifteen times.

Note

At no point should your stomach muscles relax.

It is also very important that when your are fully reclined, that you are laid across the ball for support. The fitball should be underneath your lower back – taking your weight and supporting your spine.

Support your back by resting it on the ball
