SWISS BALL ROLL-OUT
- Swiss Ball Roll Out is an advanced exercise to build stability and strength in your core muscles because it makes your abdominals and low back work together.
- It is also helpful in strengthening of your shoulders
HOW TO DO SWISS BALL ROLL OUT EXERCISE?
- Start with kneeling down, and resting your hands and lower arms on the top of the ball as shown.
- Ensure that your back is straight and flat.
- Roll the ball forward by straightening your arms, and follow it with your upper body as far as you can keeping your back.
- Always use your abdominals to pull the ball back and return to the start position.
PRECAUTIONS
Try to Control the Movement:
- Speed and Rhythm are very important. Rolling out too fast and hurrying through the movement can increase your risk of injury due to unwanted trunk rotation/extension.
Always Initiate With the Core:
In every repetition, try to squeeze the glutes and initiate the movement with your core muscles and try to avoid starting the roll with the arms.
