Swiss Ball Sit-Up
Instructions
Sit on top of swiss ball and walk out with your feet, with your glutes or your lower back supported on the ball. With your hands by your ears and elbows out wide, brace your core and lower your torso down until your lower and mid back are touching the ball. Return to the start position by raising your torso back to an upright position.
Flex your waist to raise your upper torso, whilst keeping your elbows out wide and having no movement in your legs. Reverse the movement, then repeat.
Tips
To ensure you have the right size swiss ball, when you sit on top of the ball, with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor, your legs should form approximately a 90-degree angle.
To decrease the difficulty of this exercise you can place your arms across your chest.
Ensure that your legs don't move, or the ball doesn't roll throughout the exercise, only the torso moves to ensure that the exercise maintains being a strong core exercise.
