b. Seated Twist: Place the door attachment in a low position and feed the resistive tubing though to hold equal lengths in each hand. Sit on the exercise ball with your feet at shoulder width and legs bent to 90°. In a twisting motion pull your hands from a low position (just above your knees) to a high position (arms extended by your sides).

c. Plank: Lay flat on your stomach, with your forearms on the ground and your hands just outside your shoulders. You have the choice of doing this exercise from your knees (beginner) or from your toes (advanced). In either case be sure that abs are contracted, your stomach is not bulging out and your butt is not sticking in the air. As you exhale, push yourself up onto your forearms, making a straight line from your head to your toes (or knees for beginners).
