This is the very last of the stability ball exercises. The stability ball – the float. A vertical balancing acton the stability ball.
HOW TO…
- Get into a high plank on the stability ball with your upper legs resting on the ball. See day 78 – Stability Ball Push Up for instructions.
- Use your legs to push the ball towards your hands. Slowly transition from resting your upper legs to your lower legs on the ball.
- Continue until your arms start touching the ball (while still on the floor). You should be fully on your lower legs now.
- Try to find your balance on the ball, and then slowly start lifting your hand off the floor.
- Once you are balanced on the ball, extend your upper body until completely vertical.
- Hold the position for as long as you can (up to 10 seconds).
- Now slowly revert your movements. Lower your upper body and place your hands back onto the floor.
- Extend your body and push the ball backwards again.
Note: If reversing the movement is too difficult, simply place your hands on the ball and step off the ball one leg at a time.
