The primary focus is flexion and extension, which enables us to create complimentary routines. The ball will create some fun variations on traditional exercise and offer support / resistance.
1. Crunch-Leg Raise combo
2. Leg raises with adduction
3. Supine crunches with adduction
4. Arm-to-leg reach across R/L
5. Reverse crunch with sponge ball
6. Isometric reverse crunch with sponge ball
7. Single leg glute bridge with knee flexion R/L
8. Quadruped Hip Extension with sponge ball
9. Prone Extension with ball handoff
10. Forearm plank with adduction
11. Roll-down with adduction
Modify whenever necessary and listen to the cues for coordinating breathing with each exercise.
