Stability Ball Seated Balance
How to do it
Starting position
- Sit on the center of the stability ball.
- Set your feet shoulder-width apart and plant them on the floor.
- Keep your back straight and look straight ahead.
- Place both hands lightly on your thighs.
Movement
- Pull your belly button toward your spine and brace your abs.
- Keep your balance so your torso does not sway back and forth.
- Open your chest wide so your shoulders do not round.
Breathing
Inhale deeply through your nose and exhale slowly through your mouth.
Trainer tips
- Sit on the ball, keep your feet flat on the floor, and straighten your spine
- Once you get used to it, try lifting one foot slightly at a time
Cautions
- If the ball slips, you can injure your tailbone, so do it on a mat.
- Standing on the ball (fall risk)
- Start next to a wall or chair
If you feel pain during the exercise, stop. If it continues, talk to a professional.
