Proper Exercise Technique
In a supine position on the floor place the stability ball as far from your hips as possible with only
the top half of your foot on the top side of the stability ball. Push down into the stability ball and lift
your hips like a regular hip extension but focus now on your calves. Since the stability ball is such
a great distance from your hips and only your toes are in contact with the stability ball, the calf muscles
are under great strain to maintain that bridged position. Lifte the hips up and down keeping the exercise ball
as far as possible and flexing your calves. This one can really burn.
