Description: Place your forearms on a Swiss Ball in a plank position, with your body well aligned from head to heels. Slowly roll the ball forward by extending your arms while maintaining core stability, then return to the initial position in a controlled manner.

Tips: Contract your abdominal muscles to stabilize the pelvis and prevent the back from arching. Keep your gaze towards the ground to maintain proper cervical posture.

Progression: Gradually increase the number of repetitions or the duration of holding the advanced position as the exercise becomes easier.
