LOWER BACK
Stir the Pot
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
Set your forearms on top of a stability ball, elbows under your shoulders, and clasp your hands.
- 2
Extend your legs back and lift into a plank, forming one straight line from heels to shoulders.
- 3
Brace your core hard and move your forearms in a small, controlled circle on the ball.
- 4
Keep your hips level and spine neutral, letting only your arms create the motion.
- 5
Complete your reps in one direction, then circle the opposite way for the same count.
