1) Lie face down on a ball with hands palm down, fingers pointing straight ahead, and aligned at the nipple line.
2) Place hands slightly wider than shoulder width
3) Start position: Extend your arms and place feet at hip width with toes positioned onto a secure bench or chair.
4) Lower your body (legs, hips, trunk, and head).
5) Return to the start position by extending at the elbows and pushing the body up.
Remember to keep the head and trunk stabilized in a neutral position by isometrically contracting the abdominal and back muscles. Never fully lock out the elbows at the start position and avoid hyperextension of the low back.
