Pilates Ball Exercise: Seated Roll Down

Video Transcript

"This exercise is called 'seated roll down'. And to use the stability ball in this exercise, we are going to place it at the low of the back. Scooch it under there, so that we can roll over it. And, the purpose of having the stability ball there, is so that we can do the seated ab prep. Allow the rib cage to pop and from that position come forward. Really using those six-pack muscles of the transfers abdominals. And it looks like this. We are going to take a nice inhale and tuck the chin. And exhale, curl over the ball. Now notice how my rib cage is popped here and I have allowed that, because I've got a nice arch in my back. Now I am going to inhale here, exhale, close that rib cage and I have that extra amount of work to come up and come forward. So, very different than doing a regular ab prep that looks like this."
