Action: Kneel behind the ball, with your thighs and abdomen pressed against the ball, and your hands on top of the ball. Exhale, support your body with your hands, lie flat on the ball, and balance on the ground. Inhale, lift your left leg, bend your right knee, and support your right thigh with your right foot. Hold the pose for 15 seconds. When you're done, return to the starting position, switch feet and repeat. Repeat 2 to 3 times.

After finishing, inhale and return to the starting position. Repeat 3 to 5 times.

Things to note when practicing with a yoga ball

1. When inflating the ball, inflate it until it is 80% full. This will make the ball more elastic and easier to clamp and grasp.

2. Yoga balls come in various sizes. Beginners can use small balls first, which are easier to control. Generally speaking, large balls are easier to keep balanced, while small balls are lighter but more difficult to balance.

3. When playing with a yoga ball at home, you can lay a yoga mat or towel on the ground to keep it clean and prevent slipping.

4. Although yoga ball exercises are not prone to injury, you still need to pay attention to maintaining balance, especially when doing more difficult movements such as the wheel pose. You must use your hands to support yourself when returning to the original position.

5. When practicing fitness ball yoga, pay attention to your clothing. Try not to wear too loose clothing to avoid the yoga ball squeezing your clothing and causing accidents and injuries to your body.
