Walk-out plank on ball

  1. Kneel over the ball. Place your hands on the floor in front of you.
  2. Walk your hands forward until your legs are straight on the ball. This is the plank position.
  3. When in plank position, hold your body straight and tighten your belly and buttocks muscles. Keep your chin slightly tucked.
  4. Roll as far forward as you can without losing your balance or letting your hips drop. You may stop with the ball under your thighs, or even under your knees or shins.
  5. Hold a few seconds, then walk your hands back and return to the start position.
  6. Repeat 8 to 12 times.
