A Great Stretch…

Another use for the big blue stability ball!
Lie face down with your chest, abs and hips on the stability ball.  Extend your legs behind you, feet wide.  Cross your arms in front of you and rest them on the front of the ball.  Look down at the floor and tighten your abs and butt.  Lift your torso as you uncross your arms and extend them behind you, palms facing your thighs.  Only your abs and hips should rest on the ball in this position.  Keep your shoulders down and your head aligned with your spine.  Pause, then cross your arms over your chest again and return to the starting position.  This move helps strengthens your middle back muscles as well as the ones along your spine.  Working  these areas can help you stand taller, look slimmer and feel more confident!
