  2. Engage your Abs to lift your feet, butt and shoulders off the ground ( Dead bug position), so that only your lower back in contact with the ground.
  3. Extend one leg forward while moving the opposite arm overhead.
  4. Return your leg and arm to the starting position on the Stability ball and repeat on the other side.

Form tips

  1. Keep your head neutral: do not crane your neck forward. It may help to look at the ceiling.
  2. Aim to be in contact with the ground with as small of an area of your lower back as possible. This will create additional Abs engagement.
