1 - Sit on the exercise ball and walk your feet forward until the ball is positioned under your lower back, with your feet flat on the floor hip-width apart.
2 - Place your hands lightly behind your head or cross them over your chest, keeping your elbows wide.
3 - Engage your core and slowly curl your upper body forward, contracting your abdominals to lift your shoulders off the ball.
4 - Hold the contracted position for a brief moment, squeezing your abs at the top of the movement.
5 - Slowly lower your upper body back down over the ball, allowing your core to stretch slightly at the bottom.
6 - Repeat for the desired number of repetitions, maintaining controlled breathing throughout.
