Sets: 1

Reps: 15 each side

• Lie on your side with your knees bent, pilates ball in front of you.

• Inhale and allow the ribs to open and expand. Abs are relaxed and pelvic floor is lengthened.

• Exhale as you blow out through your mouth like you are blowing through a straw. Press down on the ball and draw in pelvic floor and core.

  • Appreciate the abdominals drawing in with the ball press vs. pushing outwards.

• Inhale release and expand. Exhale press and draw in.

• The ball is there for resistance and give your deep abdominals something to respond to.
