Start by sitting on top of the body ball, roll down by walking feet away from you
( make sure you already have weight in hand and it is resting on chest as you lay back, DO NOT TRY TO PICK WEIGHT UP WHEN LAYING DOWN)
Stop when lower back is on body ball and allow head, neck and shoulders to lay back onto the ball ( trust your ball)
Extend medican ball or weight right above your chest with arms ( do not lock elbows)
Keep eyes focused in one spot and keep chin off the chest
Begin to lift the upper body up and lower body at the same time ( keeping feet on floor tilt pelvis up to ceiling and lift chest to the ceiling)
DO NOT EXTEND AND BEND ELBOW, ARMS ARE IN A FIXED POSITION AT ALL TIMES DURING THIS EXERCISE
 If you choose not to add weights to this exercise keep arms at temples or across chest
