Description

Place a Swiss ball against a wall and position your hands on it, shoulder-width apart. Adopt a plank position, engaging your abdominal muscles to maintain a straight back and avoid any arching. Dynamically bring your knees towards the ball, alternating legs while keeping your trunk stable. Perform three controlled movements, then relax your back by pushing your hips upwards, while pushing yourself away from the ball. Return to the starting position and repeat.
