We have come to the last two of the stability ball exercises. And yes, these are the two most difficult ones. The reason is that the stability ball 3-point plank requires you to be completely in balance on the ball itself. No more touching the floor!
HOW TO…
- Stand, and place the stability ball in front of you.
- Put your hands on the ball.
- Next, place your left leg on the ball, with your knee close to your hands. Rest your lower leg on the ball.
- Now slowly, lean forward.
- Once you start to feel balanced, lift your right leg off the floor. Extend the left until it is completely straight.
- Hold the position for as long as you can (up to 10 seconds).
- Slowly lower your right leg back onto the floor.
- Switch sides.
Note: Be careful when doing the stability ball 3-point plank, it is easy to lose balance and roll off. Start with a softer ball as it makes it easier to keep your balance.
Progression: Perform the Stability Ball 3-point plank as long as you can. The continuous effort that is required to keep your balance is a great exercise for your core muscles.
