Stir the Pot (Stability Ball)

How to do it

  1. Kneel behind a stability ball and rest both forearms on top, elbows under the shoulders, legs extended behind in a plank.
  2. Brace the core and squeeze the glutes to keep the body in a straight line from head to heels.
  3. Slowly circle the forearms in a small clockwise pattern on the ball while keeping the hips still and shoulders stable.
  4. Reverse to circle counterclockwise for an equal count, maintaining constant tension through the abdominals.
  5. Breathe steadily throughout the circles rather than holding the breath as the ball moves.
  6. Stop and reset the plank if the hips sag or rock side to side before continuing the circles.
