Key Points:

  • Anchor your feet at the bottom of the wall, set hips in the middle of the ball.
  • Set your back to full extension.
  • Maintain this position and perform T's (squeezing your shoulder blades back and together) and Y's (extending your arms straight out in front).

Common Mistakes:

  • Position of hips not centred in the ball.
  • Too much arch in lower back.
