1. Mermaid with Ball
Sit on the floor or on a mat with the ball at your left side. Bend your left leg in front of you, and your right behind you. Extending your right arm out to your side at shoulder level, place your left hand on the ball with elbow slightly bent. Engaging your core, roll the ball out to the left as far as you can as you reach your right arm over your head. Hold the stance for two to three seconds, and rolling the ball back, return to the starting position. That’s one rep. Finish 8 to 10 reps, and then switch sides to repeat the same.Mermaid with ball - abs

Slowly reverse the movement to return back to your starting posture. That’s one rep. Continue for 8-10 reps.roll over - abs
3. Footwork on Ball
Start by lying face-up, arms by your sides, and palms facing down. Bending your knees, place the balls of your feet on top of the ball. Keep your heels together, and point your toes slightly outward in a small V shape. Engage your core, and contract your glutes as you lift your hips an inch off the floor. Then roll the ball away from you so that your heels are on the ball. Pause for a moment, and then roll the ball back by bending your knees to move to your starting posture. That’s one rep. Continue for 8-10 reps.
