HOW TO…
- Get on your knees on a yoga mat. Place the stability ball in front of you.
- Place your hands and forearms on the stability ball, and roll the ball away from you.
- Slowly raise your knees from the floor. This will put your weight on your toes and forearms.
- Continue straightening your body while tightening your core. Push with your forearms on the stability ball to keep your balance. You might need to roll the ball forward a bit further.
- While in this low plank position on the stability ball, rotate the stability ball with your forearms.
Note: The direction of the rotation is not important, but ideally, you can move the ball clockwise and counterclockwise. Try to make small circles with the ball. The stability ball circling plank is about the movement, not the extent of the movement.
Goal: Try to do 5 circles with the ball in both directions.
Variation: Be aware that a softer ball will not make this exercise any easier (as it does for a regular plank). To make the exercise a little easier, limit the distance in the rotation.
