Back Extensions with Stability Ball

This exercise provides flexibility as it strengthens the muscles of the back and core.

Steps

  1. Lie prone (on your stomach) on a Stability Ball with your toes firmly planted on the floor for balance.
  2. With your hands across your chest or at your ears, raise your chest off the ball so you are hyperextending your spine.
  3. Slowly return your chest to the ball.
  4. Repeat.
