Lie back as if doing a sit up, keeping the ball in your hands, taking it behind your head. Now sit up and bring the ball back to chest height out in front of you.
Step 4
Again, lift your feet off the ground and move the ball from side to side again, this time performing two rotations before planting your feet and doing two sit ups.
