• Use a chair/bench for this exercise. Stack pillows to increase height if needed. Avoid going to a low surface (deep couch, etc.)

• Stand in front of bench with pilates ball at your chest.

• Inhale and expand the ribcage to prep for the movement.

• Exhale and gently press into the ball, draw in pelvic floor and core. Squat to tap the bench and return back up through the full exhale. You should keep the core gently engaged through the full breath.
