Smoothly raise your heels off the floor, keeping your abdominal and buttocks contracted throughout, holding in this position for 2 - 3 seconds prior to lowering and repeating.
You may decide to make this exercise harder by performing with only one foot on the floor, keeping the other leg extended out straight, however this should only be done by persons with good balance.
Care should be taken that the Swiss Ball doesn't roll from underneath you.
