EXERCISE TIP: Ab Roll-Outs

The fitball is a great tool and our can do a whole workout on. To strengthen your lower back and abs, use the fitball to perform Ab Roll-Outs. Here's how:

1. Start with your bottom on your heels and your arms out straight with your wrists sitting on the ball.
2. Pull your belly button towards your spine, tightening your torso. Slowly roll the ball forward without arching or straining on your back.
3. Push your elbows into the ball and hold in the outstretched position for 5 seconds.
4. Squeeze your abs to pull the body back to start. Just before your bottom reaches your bottom roll forward again.
5. Repeat 10-12 repetitions and 3 sets.
