## **Mini Ball Pallof Press with Breath — How To**

### **Setup**
– Stand in an athletic stance with a mini ball placed between your hands at chest height.
– Hold the band at your side so it’s pulling you into rotation.
– Brace your core and keep ribs stacked over hips.

### **Steps**
1. Inhale to prepare, keeping the ball gently squeezed between your palms.
2. Exhale as you **press the ball straight forward**, resisting the band’s pull.
3. Maintain square hips and shoulders—no twisting.
4. Inhale as you bring the ball back to your chest with control.
5. Repeat for smooth, steady reps, then switch sides.

### **Key Cues**
– “Exhale as you press.”
– “Stay tall and resist rotation.”
– “Light squeeze on the ball to connect core and shoulders.”
