Abdominal Belt Strengthening

Description

Lie on your side on a Swiss ball with your legs straight and your feet against a wall to support your body. Hold a medicine ball in your hands above your head. Place your top foot in front of your bottom foot for greater stability and to make it easier to pivot. Tighten your abdominal muscles, then tilt and turn your body toward the wall while throwing the medicine ball against it. Catch the ball after it bounces back and slowly return to the starting position, controlling the movement. Repeat the exercise as recommended by your physical therapist.
