Description

You are sitting on a Swiss ball, with an upright posture. While exhaling, engage your transverse abdominis by drawing in and gently contracting the stomach, as if you wanted to ‘hold your baby tighter’. Maintain this contraction for a few seconds, then release. Keep a normal breathing pattern throughout the exercise.
