ball |
The third
exercise needs you to start with the ball at your waist as
before. Loosen the hips. The |
feet and knees do
not move much in this version. Don't worry - they will move more
later. This |
time rotate your
trunk 90 degrees to the right. As before, slowly. And if
anything hurts, stop. The |
left arm reaches
across the body and rolls the ball so the left hand is on top.
The right elbow stays |
close to
the side and the right hand rolls under the ball. Return to the
starting position. Repeat three |
more
times with the same hand on top during the extended rotation,
then four more times with the |
other
hand on top. Slowly. |
