How to do it

Start off by rolling your torso forward onto the ball so your hips rest on top of the ball and become the highest point of your body.
Rest your hands and feet on the floor. Your arms and legs can be slightly bent or straight, depending on the size of the ball, your flexibility, and the length of your limbs. This also helps develop stabilizing strength in your torso and shoulders.

When to stop

Stop and rest if you feel chest pain or pressure, are more short of breath than you'd expect, feel dizzy or faint, or have sudden pain. If chest pain or faintness doesn't pass when you rest, call 911.
