Yoga Ball Plank instructions

Step-by-step instructions

Start by placing your hands on the floor, shoulder-width apart, and place your feet on the yoga ball.

Extend your legs and keep your body in a straight line, so you're in a elevated push-up position.

Ensure that your hands are directly under your shoulders to prevent unnecessary strain.

Engage your core and maintain this position.

Hold for the programmed amount of time, keeping your body straight and avoiding sagging in the middle. Breathe normally.
