The Stability Ball Rollout strengthens your core and improves stability. You engage your abdominal muscles while maintaining balance on the stability ball.

  1. Kneel on the floor with the stability ball in front of you.
  2. Place your forearms on the ball and keep your elbows aligned under your shoulders.
  3. Slowly roll the ball forward, extending your body while keeping your core tight.
  4. Roll back to the starting position, maintaining control throughout the movement.

How to perform the Stability Ball Rollout

  1. Set up. Set up in a stable, balanced starting position appropriate for the Stability Ball Rollout using your stability ball.
  2. Brace and execute. Brace your core, control the descent, and move through a full pain-free range of motion while emphasizing your latissimus dorsi.
  3. Reset. Reverse the movement under control and reset between repetitions, keeping your form crisp on every rep.

Coaching cues

  • Move with intent — every rep should feel deliberate, not rushed.
  • Drive force through your latissimus dorsi rather than momentum.
  • Keep your breathing steady: exhale on the hard part, inhale on the reset.

Common mistakes

  • Using too much weight and losing positional control.
  • Cutting the range of motion short and missing the target muscle.
  • Letting your spine round or hyperextend instead of staying neutral.
