The Seated Leg Raise will strengthen your core to support your spine.The Seated Leg Raise is a fab exercise to strengthen your core muscles. Sit tall on the gym ball and relax your arms by your sides. Draw your shoulder blades back and down. Keep your feet no further than hip width apart and align with your toes. Remember to set your abdominals to keep your back in a neutral lumbar curve. Raise one heel slowly off the ground and straighten your leg. Try to keep still on the ball concentrating on keeping those abdominals set. Lower then repeat on the other side. To make this exercise easier rest your fingers on the side of the ball to assist your balance or just raise the heel off the floor. To make the exercise harder extend your arms out to the side at shoulder height and hold your leg up for longer.
