• Great exercise to teach co-contraction of the core / hip / shoulder girdle musculature, to stabilize while working the rectus abdominus.
• Integrated movement for “functional” and “practical” abdominal strength.

Preparation :

• Lie prone on the ground, hands are slightly wider than shoulder width and spine angles are ‘neutral’.
• Place shins on the stability ball.
• Activate core with a drawing in and pelvic floor contraction.

Movement :

• With your arms extended, perform a stability ball roll – in crunch by bring your knees to your chest.
• Bring your legs back into triple extension (at hip, knee, and ankle).
• AVOID letting your back sag by keeping the core engaged and activating the glutes and lats.
