Plank Pike Up

Plank Pike Up - works abs & lower back

 

Take an exercise ball and lie on top of it with your shins on the ball and your palms on the floor under your shoulders.

Now use your abs and legs, rolling the ball to your middle, lifting your hips and keeping your head down between your arms. (Your body should be in an inverted "V" shape.)

Hold here for 1 count and then roll back to the start.

Do 10-12 reps. Be sure to pull your abs in and keep your head even with your spine as you move in and out of the "V".
