Starting Position
  • These exercise ball exercises require you to kneel on the floor in front of the ball and slide forward so that you are lying over the ball with the ball situated under your feet and your arms straight.
  • Contract your abdominals so that your back remains straight.
Action
  • Hold this position.
Prime Movers
  • Stability is achieved through spinal stabilizers
Physio Tips
  • If you find this position too difficult try modifying it by putting the ball under your knees, progressively moving it toward your feet as you get stronger.
  • You will need to master this static position prior to trying any dynamic exercise involving the reverse plank.
