Action

Keep your core strong by not dropping your hips. Your body should be as straight as possible. Lower your upper body to 90 degree at the elbow and return to the starting position. Try doing 2 sets of 10-12 repetitions.

Special Instructions

For a more advanced version, walk out on the ball until the ball is underneath your ankles.
