Exercise Ball Back Extension With Arms Extended

This exercise works the muscles along your spine to make your lower back, bottom, and legs stronger. Because the ball is wobbly and your arms are reaching out, you must use your tummy muscles to stay balanced.

  1. 1Put the ball on the floor and lie on your stomach on top of it. Rest your hips on the ball and press your feet against a wall so you don't slide.
  2. 2Reach your arms straight out in front of your head with your palms facing the floor.
  3. 3Tighten your tummy muscles and slowly lift your chest up off the ball. Keep your back straight and your neck lined up with your spine.
  4. 4Hold still for a second at the top, then slowly lower your chest back down to where you started.
  5. 5Do this again for as many times as you need to.
