Video Transcript

"In this exercise, we're going to working the abs, the hip flexers and quads as well as the shoulder muscles and arms. We are going to come out prone over the ball onto our elbows. So to begin the exercise, go ahead and place the ball in the center of your body in a kneeling position. From there, go ahead and push the ball out just a little bit and roll over. Extend the legs and begin to crawl out until the ball is just below the knees. If you need to readjust your legs, come down unto your elbows, head in line with the spine, engaging the abs. Inhale to prepare, exhale. Pull the ball in. Inhale, extend. Exhale, in. Inhale, extend. Exhale, in. Inhale, extend. From this position in order to come off of the ball, we simply back up. Coming back as gently as possible. Back unto your knees and up."
