It works your stomach muscles, shoulders, and buttocks.

It's like a regular plank, but harder because you're balancing on a ball.

This makes it better for balance and stability.

It's good for all fitness levels, from beginners to experts.

It helps you get stronger, last longer in workouts, and understand your body better.

Doing this exercise improves your core strength, which helps with other exercises.

Better Balance: Because the ball moves, you have to work harder to keep your balance. This makes your posture better and helps you avoid falls.

Works Your Whole Body: While it's mainly a core exercise, it also uses your shoulders, back, and buttocks muscles. This makes it a really efficient workout.

Fewer Injuries: Having strong core muscles protects you from getting hurt when you exercise or do everyday things. It supports your back and helps prevent strains.

First, put your forearms on the stability ball. Make sure your elbows are right below your shoulders. This is your starting position, ensuring balance and proper form.

Next, stretch your legs out behind you. Your feet should be about as far apart as your hips, and your toes should be curled slightly under. This helps engage your leg muscles and maintain stability.

Now, tighten your tummy muscles (core), your bottom muscles (glutes), and your leg muscles. You should make a straight line from your head all the way down to your heels. This is the plank position; focus on maintaining a straight line to avoid injury.

Keep this position! It's important to keep your back straight and not let your hips sag down or your shoulders lift up. Try to hold this for 30 seconds to a minute. Remember to breathe normally while you hold the plank.

To make it harder, try lifting one leg off the ground while you hold the plank. Keep your body as straight as possible and your core engaged. This variation increases the challenge and works your stability even more.

Front Plank with a Twist: This exercise is like a regular plank, but you add a twist from side to side. This works your core muscles even more, especially the sides (obliques). It helps you get better at controlling your body and being strong in everyday movements.

Weighted Front Plank: Make your plank harder by adding weight, like a weight plate on your back. This makes your core, shoulders, and back work much harder. It builds strength and helps you control your body better.

Lying Hip Lift on a Stability Ball: This exercise focuses on your glutes (butt muscles) and hamstrings (back of your thighs), but your core still works hard to keep you stable. It's good for hip flexibility and strengthens the muscles in the back of your body.

Each of these exercises is a good way to strengthen your core muscles. Try them all and find what you like best!

The Stability Ball Front Plank is great for core strength, but here are some fun ways to change it up:

Weighted Front Plank: Make it harder! Add weight (like a plate or dumbbell) to your back during a regular plank. This builds more muscle and makes you stronger.

Front Plank with a Twist: Add some movement! While in a plank, slowly twist your body side to side. This works your side muscles (obliques) which are important for twisting motions in sports.

Pull-Ins on a Stability Ball: This is a challenge! Kneel in front of a stability ball, place your forearms on it, and pull your knees towards your chest. This works your abs and hip muscles, needing good balance.

Mix it up! These exercises all help make your core stronger in different ways. Try them all and find your favorites!

Elbows under shoulders: Make sure your elbows are directly under your shoulders. If your shoulders are too high, it means your body isn't lined up correctly. Keep your elbows in line to help with good posture.

Remember to breathe: Don't hold your breath! Keep breathing normally. This helps you keep going longer and gives your muscles the oxygen they need.
