How to do it

Keep your eyes fixed on the weight as it arcs across your body.

  1. 1

    Lie on your back on a stability ball, holding a weight with both hands above your chest.

  2. 2

    Rotate your torso to one side, keeping your arms straight.

  3. 3

    Return to the center and then rotate to the other side.

  4. 4

    Continue alternating sides for the desired number of repetitions.

Expert tip

Keep the movement slow and controlled, and don't let the weight pull you; you should be in control of the weight at all times.
