You'll find that regular exercise ball workout makes a solid core which helps preventing injuries and improves your posture. This move that i am going to teach you also balance out your body's muscle strenght.

Ok, lets get down to business.
Make sure you've got the right ball(your knee joint should be bent at 90 degress when you're sitting on it. Start by sitting on the ball and slowly roll down until you're upper back and head are comfortably resting on the ball. Turn your palms to face upwards and bring your shoulders down to stabilize your upper back. Engage your core muscles(your mid section of your body). You do this by gently pulling your belly button towards your spine using your abs.
Now lift up your bottom, until it is at a hip height. Squeeze your buttocks really tightly and focus on lengthening the front of your thigh as u press up. Hold this position for 10sec. then lower and repeat 5 more times.
