This exercise is for abdominal strength, which will help support the spine and aid in the stability of the pelvis. Having a strong core will allow you to have more freedom of movement.

Starting Position:

Instruct the students to lie on their back and place the fusion ball under their sacrum. Ensure their feet are hip-width apart, arms are relaxed by their sides, with palms facing upward. Guide them to begin by lifting their legs into a tabletop position.

Steps:

1. Have the student float legs up to a table top position

2. Pushing through the heel the student will bicycle the legs 8 times

3. The student will then reverse the bicycle legs 7 times

4. Then have the student bring the legs back to table top on count 8

5. Arms float up to the ceiling

6. The student will toe tap right foot then left foot

7. Have the student repeat the whole exercise

Focus:

Make sure the student has the ball in the correct position and isn’t arching in the spine. Focus on the stability of the pelvis and make sure the student is breathing throughout the exercise.
