Starting position:
- Sit on the ball and lie down to let the ball support your lower back.
- Place your hands behind your head, but do not rest your head on them.

Movements:
- Inhale and lift up your chest by tightening your abdominal muscles, reaching a 45-degree angle on the ball. Do not bring your chin up, as it will strain your neck.
- You can also balance yourself by putting all your weight on the ball.
- Return slowly to your starting position.
- Let your head rest on the curve of the ball behind you.

Targeted muscles:
- Rectus abdominis, external and internal oblique muscles.

Suggested frequency:
2 sets of 15
