" Hi! This is Manny Castro, Exercise Physiologist. In this particular exercise, it’s a variation of the leg raise. It’s obviously, a more difficult variation of the leg raise. It’s going to involve you to pass the ball to your hands and then go back and forth from your legs to your hands. I’ll demonstrate this particular exercise. What you’ll do is just like in your leg raise, you’ll straddle the ball with your ankles, with your arms back in this position, so your legs are out and your arms are straight back behind you. What you’ll do is bring the ball up, bring your hands up, reach, touch, touch the ball within the back, do not let your legs touch the floor, come back, grab the ball again. Again, you’ll do about 12-15 as a beginner. You may not even be able to do that as a beginner. Maybe 8-10; 12-15 as an intermediate; 15-20 or 25 as an advanced fitness enthusiast. "
