Abdomen Exercise
Position: Sit on the floor with your feet or lower legs resting on the cushion.
Movement: Lean back slightly to engage your core, keeping your back straight. You can lift your hands or perform "Russian twists" by rotating your torso side-to-side.
Benefit: The unstable surface of the cushion forces your deep abdominal muscles to work harder to maintain balance.
2. Push Ups
Position: Place your hands on the two separate "foot" pads of the cushion while in a plank position.
Movement: Lower your chest toward the cushion and push back up.
Benefit: This adds a challenge to standard push-ups by engaging the stabilizing muscles in your shoulders, chest, and wrists.
3. Balance Board Squat
