How to do the exercise

Sets: 3

Duration: 30 seconds per set

Description: Standing position, legs slightly apart, dribble a ball between your legs while keeping your trunk well stable and your pelvis immobile. Focus on activating your abdominal muscles to control the movements without moving the lower back.

Tips: Maintain your spine in a neutral position and avoid any rotation or tilting of the pelvis. Breathe regularly and keep your gaze straight ahead.

Progression: Gradually increase the duration of each set from 30 to 45 seconds when comfortable, or increase the dribbling speed while maintaining trunk stability.
