Technique
- Lie on your back with your heels on top of a stability ball and the arms flat on the floor.
- Lift the hips until the body forms a straight line from shoulders to heels.
- Keeping the hips up, roll the ball toward you by bending the knees.
- Roll the ball back out slowly until the legs are straight, without lowering the hips.
Cues
- Squeeze the glutes to hold the hips high.
- Press the arms into the floor for balance.
Common mistakes
- Letting the hips sag as the ball rolls in.
- Arching the lower back instead of using the glutes.
- Rolling the ball out too fast.
