This exercise will work into the glutes and the hamstrings of the students, they will also be working the spinal articulation and getting a lovely hamstring stretch at the end.
Starting Position: Have the student lie on their back, resting the feet on the Pro Ball in tabletop position, arms by the sides, palms facing up.
Steps:
- The student will roll up through the spine into a bridge, then drop the pelvis to lower.
- Repeat twice.
- Reverse the motion: lift the pelvis, then roll through the spine to lower.
- Repeat 2 times.
- They will then lift one leg with foot flexed, bring it closer with the hand to deepen the stretch.
- Return and repeat on the opposite leg.
- Repeat the exercise once more, this time lifting the upper body when stretching the hamstrings.
