  1. Start by lying on your back with your legs extended and your heels resting on top of the stability ball.
  2. Place your arms by your sides for stability.
  3. Engage your glutes and core muscles to lift your hips off the ground, creating a straight line from your shoulders to your heels.
  4. Bend your right knee and bring it towards your chest, keeping your left leg extended and your foot flexed.
  5. Kick your right leg diagonally across your body, extending it fully and engaging your hamstrings.
  6. Slowly return your right leg to the starting position, maintaining control and stability.
  7. Repeat the movement with your left leg, alternating sides for the desired number of repetitions.
