Sit on the physio ball with the knees positioned outside the shoulders and the arms extended in front. A coach kneels in front and holds an elastic band to assist the movement.
Flex at the hips as the coach pulls the elastic band, then extend the hips to return to the seated starting position against the coach’s resistance. Move with control through each repetition.
The video shows the seated position, coach assistance and the return to an upright seated finish.
