Hug A Ball Guide

Main Muscle: Lower Back

  1. Seat yourself on the floor.
  2. Straddle an exercise ball between both legs and lower your hips down toward the floor.
  3. Hug your arms around the ball to support your body. Adjust your legs so that your feet are flat on the floor and your knees line up over your ankles. Keep a good grip on the ball so it doesn't roll away from you and send you back onto your buttocks.

Does it work just as well if you hug a tree?

Jul 30, 2011 8:31 PM: Today I asked a girl out at the gym that I've been fantasizing about for the past 3 months. At first she just stared at me, but then started laughing. I was crushed.

I avoided further rejection by retreating to the stability balls. That's when I remembered this exercise.
