Summary: When doing Pilates ball exercises, remember to keep your balance. Learn how to warm up for your workout routine in this free exercise video about Pilates ball workouts.
"These exercises are warm up exercises. When you do them, in order to maintain your balance, I would like you to keep your hands on the side of the ball. So that as you bounce up and down, the hands are gliding along the side of the ball. So that if you land wrong on the ball you will not fall off. Your hands will be able to catch you. The first one we are going to do is just bouncing up and down. Raising the heart level. Bounce as high as you can. Trying to keep the feet even with the knees, in line with the hips. From here, we are going to go ahead and go skiing. Keeping the knees together. Now, notice how I am using my hands to steady myself on the ball. My knees do not come apart. And, from there, I am going to take my hands off the ball and I am going to start jumping jacks."
