Prone Stability Ball Flexion

Prone Stability Ball Flexion

Prone Stability Ball Flexion is a great somewhat-advanced abdominal exercise. Not only do your abs get a mean workout, but you'll be working on your core stability too.

This is advanced because you will need to be able to stabilize your core while pulling your knees to your chest (flexion). If you have done Plank then you should be OK with Prone Stability Ball Flexion.

Here's how to do it

Put your hands on the floor like a push-up and rest your shins on the top of the stability ball.
Brace your abs (like you do when you step in cold water).
With your arms straight and your back flat, your body should form a straight line from your shoulders to your ankles.
Keeping your back straight (don't round it), roll the ball as close to your chest as possible by contracting your abs and pulling the ball forward.
Pause and then return the ball to the starting position by rolling it backward.
Do NOT round your lower back.
If you are having trouble start with your knees on the ball instead of you feet.
