"With this exercise we're going to take the reverse curl, just leg lifts with the ball, a little step further, and we're going to add in the upper body -transverse abs with the rectus abdominis working all together as one unit- taking the ball back to our hands and then passing it back to our feet. It's very slow and controlled, body works as a unit so we're going to fire everything together here. In supine position and we're going to curl up and reach for the ball and release. Now, how far you bring your legs extended will depend on how much you can control your back into the surface that you're working on. And then extend and bring your arms back beside your ears, and curl, hold, find neutral with your feet and lower to a point of control, and curl, exhale, inhale on extension and exhale, and release. Again, to a point of control. You'll feel that one start to work pretty quick so work around 10 to 12 reps."
