  1. Kneel upright with the ball in front of you.
  2. To start, clasp your hands together. Rest them on the ball in front of you.
  3. As you do this exercise, keep your back and hips straight and tighten your belly and buttocks muscles. Keep your knees in place.
  4. Press on the ball with your arms. Lean forward from the knees. This rolls the ball forward. You will bear most of your weight on your arms.
  5. If your back starts to ache, you've gone too far. Pull back a bit.
  6. Roll back to the start position.
  7. Repeat 8 to 12 times.
