Roll-out (Stability Ball)

How to do it

  1. Kneel on a mat with a stability ball positioned in front of you and rest your forearms on top of it.
  2. Brace the core and slowly roll the ball forward by extending the arms and hips into a long line.
  3. Extend until the body forms a straight line from knees to shoulders without the lower back sagging.
  4. Pause briefly at the furthest comfortable point while keeping the ribs pulled down toward the pelvis.
  5. Exhale as you contract the abdominals to roll the ball back toward your knees for each repetition.
  6. Avoid letting the hips drop toward the floor as the ball extends away from the body.
