Lower Back Stabilization With Abdominal Strengthening

Description

Lying on your back with feet flat on the ground, hold a Swiss ball in your hands directly above your shoulders. Raise one leg straight vertically. Contract your abdominal muscles to keep your lower ribs in place and maintain a slight contact between your lower back and the floor. While exhaling, slowly lower your arms and leg towards the ground, keeping your spine neutral and your abs engaged. While inhaling, lift your arms and leg back to the starting position.
