The core muscles need to have strength and coordination. Exercises that make us unstable enhance the coordination of core muscles, and speed the neurologic development. Several basic exercises are used as a base and then activities are utilized to make us more unstable. Such as catching, throwing, changing arm position, leaning, or alternating movements.

Kneeling on the ball is the first stage of several of the upcoming exercises. Master this position and then more entertaining and fun exercises can be performed.

Begin by kneeling on the stability ball. Try to keep your torso upright and maintain proper posture during the exercise. If you begin to lose balance, sit back on the ball to avoid falling.

While balancing on the ball, slowly rotate your arms and torso to the right side. Hold this position until you have regained your balance then return to the start position. Continue the exercise by rotating to alternating sides. As exercise becomes easier, weights can be added to increases the difficulty.
