    Lie face down on a stability ball, with the ball placed under your stomach.  Straighten our legs, keep your feet hip-width apart and toes pointed down at the floor. Place your arms across your chest and bend forward at the waist. Draw-in your navel, contract your glutes and tuck-in our chin. Keep your legs straight as your raise your upper body until it is in line with your legs. Return to the starting position and repeat.
