Stir the Pot: how to do it and form tips

A plank variation with forearms on a Swiss ball where you make small clockwise and counter-clockwise circles, training anti-rotation and anti-lateral-flexion core stability simultaneously.

Form tips

  1. Maintain a completely rigid plank — no hip rocking, sagging, or rotating during the circles.
  2. Make small, controlled circles rather than large sweeping arcs; larger circles reduce stability demand.
  3. Start with 5 circles each direction and build gradually; this exercise is deceptively demanding.
