Stability Ball Balance

A static stability exercise where you maintain balance while seated on a stability ball, improving core strength and proprioception.

Instructions

1. Sit on the stability ball with feet flat on the ground, positioned hip-width apart
2. Ensure your knees are at a 90-degree angle
3. Maintain an upright posture with shoulders back and core engaged
4. Keep your hands either at your sides, crossed over your chest, or extended for balance
5. Distribute your weight evenly across the ball
6. Maintain stability without letting the ball roll
7. Hold this position for the desired duration

Tips

• Start with feet closer together once you gain confidence for increased difficulty
• Position the ball so your hips are slightly higher than your knees for better stability
• Keep your core tight throughout the hold
• Use arm movements for balance if needed when starting out
• Breathe steadily and avoid holding your breath
• Perform this exercise away from walls initially to build true stability
