1) Lie face down with chest on flexaball.<br />
2) Take your hands and walk forward allowing the flexaball to roll under your body until the top of your feet are supported by the flexaball.<br />
3) Start position: Place your hands slightly wider than shoulder width, fingers pointing straight ahead, and aligned at the nipple line. Remove one foot and suspend it 4-6 inches above the flexaball.<br />
4) Lower your body (legs, hips, trunk, and head) 4-8 inches from the floor.<br />
5) Return to the start position by extending at the elbows and pushing the body up.<br />
6) Remember to keep the head and trunk stabilized in a neutral position by isometrically contracting the abdominal and back muscles. Never fully lock out the elbows at the start position and avoid hyperextension of the low back.<strong>Trainer&#8217;s comments:</strong><br />
Lock shoulders. Stay Tight.           </p>
