How to do it

Setup

Kneeling, forearms on the ball, hips slightly tucked.

Steps

  1. Roll the ball forward, arms extending.
  2. Keep the trunk rigid – no sag.
  3. Pull the ball back under the shoulders.

Common mistakes

Lower back arching: shorten the roll. Hips sitting back on the return: the ball comes first. Holding the breath at the far point: keep it moving.

Breathing

Inhale rolling out, exhale pulling back.
