Position the ball under your hips and lower torso with the knees straight or bent.  With hands behind the head or behind back, slowly roll down the ball.  Lift your chest off the ball, bringing your shoulders up until your body is in a straight line.  Make sure your body is in alignment (i.e., head, neck, shoulders and back are in a straight line), your abs are pulled in and that don't hyperextend the back. Repeat for 12-16 reps.
Ball Balance

Hold briefly, lower the arm and repeat on the other side.  Repeat for 12-16 reps, alternating arms.
