Techniques
  1. Begin with your knees on the floor and your upper body resting on the fitball, your hands should be about shoulder width apart on the ball
  2. Now lift your knees off the floor so your body is in a straight line from heels to shoulders
  3. Slowly lift your upper body off the ball until your arms are almost straight
  4. Now slowly lower your body back towards the ball without letting your chest touch the ball
Tips
  • You may need to adjust your hands if you feel they are likely to slip off the side of the ball, if you do, rest your knees on the floor again while you do this
  • Ensure you keep your body in a straight line throughout the exercise, DONT raise your bum in the air!
