Seated Twist (On Stability Ball)
Seated on a stability ball, turn the shoulders from side to side with the arms in front; the ball stays still under the hips.
How to do it
Setup
Seated tall on a stability ball, feet flat and hip-width, hands together at chest height.
Steps
- Turn the chest to one side; the hands travel with it.
- Keep the knees pointing forward as you turn.
- Come back through the middle and turn the other way.
Common mistakes
Knees swinging with the turn: the legs hold the ball still. Arms swinging while the chest stays square: turn from the ribs. Slouching on the ball: sit tall throughout.
Breathing
Exhale on each twist, inhale through the middle.
