Helps With

A gentle core and upper body exercise that helps improve stability, coordination and posture during recovery — adding a balance challenge to the double arm reach.

  • 1

    Seated Start

    Begin in a seated ball position, sitting tall with shoulders relaxed.

  • 2

    Engage & Roll Back

    Engage your deep abdominal muscles and roll backwards slightly on the ball as you lift onto your heels.

  • 3

    Anchor One Hand

    Keep your right hand touching your belly throughout.

  • 4

    Reach the Other

    Simultaneously reach your left arm out, palm facing inwards, keeping your TVA engaged.

  • 5

    Return & Switch

    Bring your arm back to rest on your belly, switch sides and repeat as feels comfortable.

Tip The hand on your belly is there as a check — if you feel your bump push out forwards, ease off and re-engage your deep core before continuing.
