 To do a one arm kettle bell snatch on a balance board, begin by tightening your abdomen.  Bend and lift the kettle bell from the floor with your left hand.  Keep your abs tight as you come to a standing position.  Slowly and carefully step onto your balance board and place your right arm out at your side.  Be sure to squeeze your abs, glutes and thighs to keep your balance and to protect your back.  Your feet should be shoulders width apart as you bend at your knees to do a squat.  Bring your thighs to where they are parallel to the ground as you let the weight fall to your knees.  Now, as you come to a standing position, lift the weight straight up overhead.  Do the entire movement very slowly in order to control your form.  Repeat the entire motion for 2 sets of 12 repetitions (on each arm) to start.

To do an abdominal stretch, begin by lying on your belly on a mat.  Place your palms at the level of your shoulders.  Keep your abs clenched as you press up with your hands as if to do a push up but without moving your torso.  Press up on your hands until your arms are straight.  At this point your spine should be curved.  Now hold this stretch for 15 seconds and then use your arms to lower your torso back to the original starting position.
