Technique

How to perform Stability Ball Pikes

1. Begin with hands on the floor beneath the shoulders and feet supported on the stability ball in a high plank.
2. Keep the elbows straight and support the shoulders by pressing through the hands.
3. With the legs remaining as straight as your controlled range allows, fold at the hips to raise the pelvis and roll the ball toward the hands.
4. Maintain abdominal tension as the torso moves toward vertical, stopping at a height you can reverse without losing hand or foot support.
5. Lower the hips and roll the ball away under control while keeping the legs extended.
6. Return to the supported plank without letting the lower back sag, then repeat.
