Exercise Classification: Intermediate
First trimester or postpartum only if performing without wedge.
Equipment: Medium rubber ball, wedge
Description:
- Start on back or with a wedge under upper body, place arms down at sides so that your upper body is on a slight incline
- Place a small ball between knees.
- Bring knees up until over hips and slowly squeeze the ball for count of 5.
- Complete 10 reps
MODIFICATION:
To make this easier, place a small foot stool or a few firm stacked pillows under your feet. Raise and lower your feet from the raised surface instead of the ground. Another way to scale this exercise down (easier) is to bring the knees up by bending the hips more than 90 degrees.
