Neutral Spine
This is a term that is thrown around quite often these days. It refers
to the natural curves of the spine and by maintaining this position throughout
exercise you are encouraging positive posture and pressure on your spine
and back.
Maintaining the following position for 30 seconds on the ball will prime
you for neutral spine and hence correct technique.
- Sit on the ball
- Keep your hips and knees at a 90 degree angle
- Pull in the navel and sit upright (no arch in the back other than
the natural lower curve)
- Shoulders back (not slouched) in line with your ears
