Steps

  1. 1 Lie on your back with your arms extended out to the sides, palms flat on the floor for stability.
  2. 2 Place both feet on top of a Swiss ball, with your knees bent at a 90-degree angle and your hips slightly lifted off the floor.
  3. 3 Keeping your shoulders pressed into the floor, slowly lower both knees and the Swiss ball to one side, rotating your hips.
  4. 4 Control the movement to prevent the ball from rolling away, feeling a stretch in your lower back and obliques.
  5. 5 Engage your core and obliques to slowly bring the Swiss ball and your legs back to the center starting position.
  6. 6 Repeat the movement by lowering your knees and the Swiss ball to the opposite side.
