Swiss Ball Pass

SWISS BALL PASS

This is an ab strengthening exercise that uses a swiss ball / stability ball. Start by lying down on your back and brace the core to maintain a neutral spine. Hold the ball in your hands and extend your arms overhead and your hips in a ‘long’ position. Proceed to then flex the hips and lower the arms to ‘pass’ the ball from your hands to your feet. Extend the hips once again and raise your arms overhead to go back into a ‘long’ position. Pass the ball back from your feet to your hands in this manner.
