Setup

Stand facing a sturdy table, feet hip-width apart, about a forearm's length from the edge. Place a large exercise ball on the table and rest both hands lightly on top of it.

Movement

Slowly roll the ball forward along the table, bending at your hips and letting your arms reach forward and up as far as is comfortable. Pause, then roll the ball back toward you and stand tall again.

Tip

Let the ball and your body weight do the work. Keep your shoulders relaxed and away from your ears, and only go as far as you can without pain.
