Stability Ball Knee Tuck

A core-intensive exercise where the stability ball rolls forward under your feet as you bring your knees toward your chest in a plank position.

Instructions

1. Assume a push-up position with hands on the floor, shoulder-width apart
2. Place your feet and shins on the stability ball
3. Keep your body in a straight plank with core engaged
4. Roll the ball forward by pulling your knees toward your chest
5. Tuck your knees as close to your chest as possible
6. Extend your legs back to the starting position with control
7. Repeat for desired reps

Tips

• Maintain a rigid plank position throughout; don’t let your hips sag
• Pull your knees forward with purpose; avoid partial movements
• Keep your shoulders over your wrists to protect your wrists and shoulders
• Move deliberately and control the ball at all times
• Breathe out as you tuck and breathe in as you extend
• Don’t let the ball roll too quickly; stability is essential
• Start with this movement before progressing to more advanced ball exercises
