Instructions

Proper Position

  • Place a Swiss Ball on a stable surface.
  • Rest your forearms on the Swiss Ball, with your elbows aligned under your shoulders.
  • Align your body in a straight line from shoulders to heels, balancing on your toes.
  • Engage your core and glutes to stabilize your torso.

Movement

  • Hold this position, keeping your body still and the Swiss Ball stable.
  • Focus on regular breathing and activating your core muscles to maintain balance.

Variations

  • Forearm Circles: Make small circles with your forearms on the Swiss Ball to increase difficulty.
  • Leg Alternation: Lift one leg slightly off the floor, then alternate with the other leg.
  • Dynamic Plank: Roll the ball slightly forward, then return it to the starting position while maintaining control.

Breathing

  • Breathe slowly and deeply to help stabilize your body.

Tips

  • Avoid letting your hips sag or rise too high. Maintain a straight posture.
  • If the exercise is too challenging, start by placing your knees on the floor to reduce the load.
  • Focus on keeping the Swiss Ball steady to maximize the engagement of stabilizing muscles.
  • Fix your gaze on a point ahead to maintain balance.
