Swiss ball: The muffin-top tightener

The muffin-top tightener

These back extensions will work your hard-to-reach lower back as well as strengthening your core.

Lie face down with the ball underneath your stomach and hips, your upper body relaxed. Steady yourself by placing your feet against the base of the wall.

Place your hands by your temples and, lifting from your lower back, slowly raise your upper torso up off the ball.

Pause at the top and lower slowly.

Aim for 15 reps.

Zest tip

'Try to incorporate the Swiss ball into every workout, as it will target your core with every exercise,' says Jon. 'For under £10 you'll be making a real difference to your posture and the strength of your lower back as well as toning up all over.'
