LOWER BACK

Stir the Pot

BeginnerStability ball

Stir the Pot is an anti-movement core drill done in a plank with your forearms on a stability ball. As you draw circles, the whole trunk fights to stay still, working the abs, obliques, and lower back together. The unstable ball turns a plain plank into a demanding stability challenge.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Set your forearms on top of a stability ball, elbows under your shoulders, and clasp your hands.

  2. 2

    Extend your legs back and lift into a plank, forming one straight line from heels to shoulders.

  3. 3

    Brace your core hard and move your forearms in a small, controlled circle on the ball.

  4. 4

    Keep your hips level and spine neutral, letting only your arms create the motion.

  5. 5

    Complete your reps in one direction, then circle the opposite way for the same count.
