Ball Knee Tuck Exercise
This exercise is sometimes called a ball roll out or some other name. You can think of it as a pike using a stability ball, but you get to bend your knees. It is most similar to the TRX Ab exercise. If you don’t have an exercise ball, make sure you see Related Exercises below to see some that are similar.
Benefits
Helps flex the spine and maintain control over abdominal muscles and helps stabilize your spine and pelvis.
