Stability Ball Plank

A core stability exercise where you maintain a plank position with your feet elevated on a stability ball, increasing instability demands.

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 line from head to heels
4. Engage your core to prevent the ball from rolling
5. Maintain this position for the desired duration
6. Focus on keeping your hips level and aligned with your shoulders

Tips

• Keep your core engaged maximally to maintain balance
• Avoid letting your hips sag or pike upward
• Breathe steadily; avoid holding your breath
• The ball’s instability increases core activation significantly
• Start with shorter durations and progress gradually
• Ensure the ball doesn’t roll by maintaining firm foot contact
• If balance is very difficult, start with feet closer together on the ball
