  1. How to Do Stability Ball Roll Outs

    • 1

      Place your exercise mat on the floor. Kneel and place the ball directly in front of you. Rest your forearms on top of the ball.

    • 2

      Inhale to prepare. As you exhale, contract your abdominal muscles and roll the ball forward. Your arms will extend as you do this, and your feet will come off the floor.

    • 3

      Roll as far forward as possible without rounding your back or hunching your shoulders. Make sure that your butt comes with you. In other words, your hips should not still be over your heels.
