With your hands flat on the ground for balance, push your hips up off the ground, engaging your glutes and hamstrings.
Slowly roll the ball towards your body using the foot that's on the ball, while keeping the other leg extended upwards.
After reaching the limit of your curl, slowly roll the ball back to the starting position, maintaining your balance all the while. Repeat this with the other leg.
Pro Tip
Controlled Movement: When performing the exercise, roll the ball towards your body using your foot and leg, while simultaneously lifting your hips off the ground. It's essential to maintain control throughout this movement. Avoid rushing through the exercise or using momentum to pull the ball, as this can lead to strain and won't engage your muscles effectively. Keep Your Core Engaged: Throughout the exercise, keep your core engaged. This will help maintain balance and stability, particularly as you're working with one leg. A common mistake is to allow the body to sag or the core to disengage, which can lead to back strain. Full Range
