Hug A Ball

A gentle stretching exercise where you hug an exercise ball to stretch your lower back and improve spinal mobility.

Instructions

1. Seat yourself on the floor.
2. Straddle an exercise ball between both legs and lower your hips down toward the floor.
3. Wrap your arms around the ball to support your body.
4. Adjust your legs so your feet are flat on the floor with knees aligned over ankles.
5. Maintain a firm grip on the ball to prevent it from rolling away.
6. Lean gently into the ball to deepen the lower back stretch.
7. Hold this position for the desired duration.

Tips

• Maintain a stable position throughout the stretch.
• Move slowly and avoid forcing the stretch.
• This is an excellent exercise for lower back tension relief.
• Use a firm exercise ball for better support.
• Hold for 20-40 seconds for optimal stretching benefits.
