Have you played on a balance board before?! It's fun, it's addicting, and it wears you out SO much faster than you'd guess. For this exercise, I'm using the rocker base, placed the long way, underneath the board. This movement is KILLER and will develop a strong awareness and muscular strength that will keep your spine supported.

P.S. You can totally do this sitting on the floor if you don't have a balance board. Either way, this exercise looks WAY easier than it is!

Here's the exercise:
- Sit on the board so you're body runs the length of it, with your spine straight & legs in table top position, leaning back slightly so your head is farther back than your tailbone.
- Pull your shoulders away from your ears, squeeze your shoulder blades together, and pull your belly tight.
- Extend 1 leg out, parallel to the floor, squeezing your quad and locking out your knee, then bring the other leg down to meet it and squeeze your ankles nice and tight.
- Squeeze your glutes to support your lower back, and lift each leg back to the starting position in the same order you lowered them.
- Next, extend both legs at the same time, squeezing your glutes tight and locking out your knees.
- Return them back to the starting position, then repeat, but start by lowering the other leg 1st.

Perform 10-15 reps for 2-4 sets. Rest 45-90sec between sets OR you can incorporate this exercise into a strength circuit.
