Stability Ball Knee Tuck, illustrated

How to do it

Setup

Plank with the shins on the ball.

Steps

  1. Pull the knees toward the chest, rolling the ball in.
  2. Hips stay level with the shoulders.
  3. Extend back to the plank.

Common mistakes

Hips piking up: that is the pike, a different rep; keep them level. Ball skidding sideways: slower pull, centered shins. Plank sagging on the return: re-brace each rep.

Breathing

Exhale on the tuck, inhale extending.
