Strength Building

PART 1 - Chest & Shoulder Strengthening: Start by kneeling with the ball in front of you. Contract the abdominal muscles and roll out over ball until thighs, calves, or ankles are resting on top of the ball - the further out you roll, the more difficult the exercise will be. Place hands under shoulders & walk them out a little wider-fingers facing forward.

Keeping your back straight and your legs & abs contracted, inhale & lower yourself toward the floor bending your elbows to a 90 degree angle. Exhale as you push back up to start.

Part 2 - Abdominal Strengthening: Inhale and focus on your navel, the abs remain contracted; then exhale and use your abs to move your navel toward the ceiling and your knees into your chest - hold this position & squeeze your abs for a 3-count.
