How Perform Seated Circles on Stability Ball

Kimberley: Welcome to the Pilates on Fifth video podcast. I am Kimberley. Katherine: And I am Katherine. Kimberley: Today’s exercise is seated circles on the stability ball. Now the stability ball is a great way to challenge your client because it activates the deep muscles of a core, because it’s an unstable surface which makes the involuntary muscles taken immediately. See, you want to sit on the ball and your feet are just slightly you want it to be really narrow but you don’t want it to be too wide either. You can just put your hands on the hips just start and really feel your thigh nice and long and pull the abdominal muscles in. You are going to inhale and take the hips to the right, so using the right exhale take the hips to the back and inhale again to the left and exhale back, we will go to the right again, inhale, exhale to the back, inhale to the left and right now we will reverse and go left. Inhale left, exhale to the back, inhale right and exhale forward again, inhale exhale back, inhale right and now we will make it a smoother breath for the first half of the circle with you inhaled the second half an exhale. So, start sitting nice and tall, swing the pelvis forward and we will do inhale and exhale or back around. So, inhale to the left and back exhale around to the right and front again to the right, inhale right and back, exhale left and front and last time inhale left and back and exhale right and front and to finish, you want to go right back to neutral where you are sitting right on top of the hip bones and that is seated circles on the stability ball.
