PLANK PUSH
Primary Muscles Worked: Rectus Abdominis (Abdominals)
Starting Position: Place your elbows and forearms on the ball, elbows placed directly under your shoulders. Make sure your body is in a diagonal line, and that your hips are not lifted or lowered.
Intermediate Position: “Top of the Knees” on the floor (it is recommended that you place a towel under your knees)
Advanced Position: Toes on the floor
Exercise: Roll the ball forward slowly a few inches until you feel the abdominals working to stabilize you. Bring the ball back to the starting position. Keep in mind that the movement comes from the shoulders, and nothing else in the body should move during this exercise.
Note: This exercise is not recommended for a beginner.
