INHALE: With control, slowly lower hips back down to the mat.

Special Instructions The ball will want to roll around during this exercise. The challenge and goal is to keep it is still as possible, using muscle control and core strength. Only bridge up as high as you can comfortably balance on the ball, working your way up to a full range of motion as you get stronger.
