V Seat Balance Ball Exercises

Video Transcript

"In this clip we are going to be doing a v seat on the balance trainer. So what you want to do is you want to sit down in a nice stable position on the balance trainer with your feet firmly on the ground. Now if you are just starting off with this you may want to start off with the basic, put your hands on the balance trainer, raise your knees up and keep your back nice and straight. Now for some people that is really challenging but you are going to try and pursue beyond that basic level if you are ready. So you are going to come back to your starting position and balance. Now once you have got that down we can add a couple of options. You can come and do an overhead clap, exhale as you come up and inhale as you come down. Now remember you can always go back to the basic and take a break any time you need to. I usually start out with steps of 10 to 12 with my clients. You may only do 2 sets then you will be focusing on trying to go up to 3. So you can start off with your basic again. If you feel that this is still a little too challenging you can place your toes on the floor and lean back slightly and take your arms nice and open. That is still going to challenge those core muscles and you can leave your palms down and you can still do your overhead clap."
