How to do it
Space your feet hip-width apart on the ball for balanced support.
- 1
Lie flat on your back with your arms by your sides.
- 2
Place your heels on top of the stability ball.
- 3
Push through your heels and lift your hips off the ground, forming a straight line from shoulders to knees.
- 4
Pause at the top, then slowly lower your hips back down to the starting position.
- 5
Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Expert tip
Keep your core engaged and hips stable throughout the movement to prevent the ball from rolling. This will help maximize glute and hamstring activation.
