Name: Office Buddha
Purpose:
Activate the postural muscles of the torso and hip girdle.
Starting Position:
Start with your hands and knees in contact with the ball and your feet on
the ground.
Execution:
Shift your weight forward slightly, over the stability ball, so your feet
leave the ground and the ball supports your entire weight. Begin by
rocking forward and then returning your feet to the ground. Slowly
increase the amount of time you spend with your feet off the ground.
Regression:
Attempt execution of the Office Buddha near a wall for additional support
or while hanging on to the edge of your desk with one hand.
Progression:
Become balanced and comfortable on all 4’s before attempting to remove
hands. Remain in this position for progressively increasing lengths of
time. Once stable in this position, hand movements in various patterns
will change your center of gravity and increase the difficulty of this
exercise. Attempt to do some deskwork in this position!
