  1. Place both hands on the floor shoulder-width apart with both feet together behind you, resting the tops of your feet on a fitball. This is your starting position.
  2. Inhale. Exhale. Using your abdominals, elevate your hips upwards and forwards so that they are in line with your shoulders, ensuring that your legs remain straight. This movement should cause the fitball to roll in towards your hands.
