1. Lay flat on your exercise mat and place your heels on the very top of the exercise ball. Your arms will be down at your sides. Make sure your are contracting your abs and your spine is in a neutral position.

2. Exercise 1: Roll in. Extend your legs all of the way out making sure your heels are on the very top of the ball.

3. As you exhale, roll the ball in towards your body and inhale to push it back out. TIP: Remember to exhale too roll the ball in and inhale to push the ball back out. You want to perform 8 to 16 reps.

4. You can add some intensity to this exercise by pushing your heels down into the ball, like you are going to flatten it down into the floor. When you push your heel further into the ball the floor will also add some added resistance.

5. Exercise 2: Bridges. Bend you knees just a little bit so that you have a 90 degree bend in your legs. Make sure your heels are still on top of the ball. As you exhale lift your hips towards the ceiling only as high as you can go. As you exhale, slowly lower your hips back down. Think about pushing your weight and heels down through the ball as you raise your hips towards the ceiling. You might feel a little shakey at first, but that is alright. Perform 8 to 16 reps.

6. Exercise 3: Single leg bridge. Same exercise, only this time take your right heel to the top center of the ball and then cross your left ankle over your right leg knee. Perform 5 reps on each side. You can make this exercise harder by extending your left leg straight up in the air. TIP: Remember to keep your abs contracted and do not put any unwanted pressure on your spine.

7. Exercise 4: Combine roll in with the bridge. Extend your legs back out again on the ball and make sure your heels are on top of the ball. As you roll the ball back in lift your hips up as high as you can and come into the bridge position. As you lower, roll the ball all of the way back down. Use your arms and hands at your side for support. Perform 10 reps of really slow and controlled movement. Make sure you keep your abs contracted and your spine in a neutral position. If this become too challanging you can always go back to rolling the ball towards your body.

8. Exercise 5: Stretches: Start with your legs straight out on the ball. Bring your right knee in towards the chest, grab towards your ankle, and grab the back of your calf. Extend your leg straight up. Keep a slight bend in your knee and hold for 10 seconds. Release your leg by bringing your knee to your chest and place it back on the exercise ball. Repeat for the opposite leg.
