Single Leg Switch with the FLX Ball

SETUP

• Lie on your back in a supine position and place the FLX Ball at your upper back between your scapulas.
• Lift your legs to table top position.

ACTION

• Both hands take your right shin as your left leg extends on a high diagonal.
• Elbows are wide and pull your forehead in towards your right knee.
• Switch legs.

REPETITIONS: 10-15 (15-20 in manual)

CUES

• Use the FLX Ball to help fold forward to take any strain out of the neck and effectively target the abdominals.
• Remember: this is an abdominal exercise, not a leg stretch.  Maintain your form and concentrate on engaging the abdominals.

Dancer Focus!  A strong core can enhance balance and stability by the ability of the torso or trunk muscles to stabilize the spine. This, in turn, provides a stable base for the arms and legs to move from.
