Description:

While seated on stability ball, carefully roll forward so that the stability ball sits at about the lumbar region of your back.  Place your hands behind your head and relax your head.  Do not initiate movement via the chin/head first, but rather keep spinal in neutral posture and initiate a controlled movement by engaging the abdomen as you sit upwards.  Do not over curl your thoracic spine, rather imagine your chest rising towards the ceiling as you crunch up with abdominal engagement.

Common Error(s): Forward Head Posture | Rounded lower back
Spotting: Mirror Client Level
