Hold the side plank position with hips lifted and body forming a straight line, maintaining balance on the stability ball.

Sagging hips, not engaging core, losing balance, poor alignment
Add leg lifts, hold longer, perform on smaller ball, or add arm movements.
Use larger ball, perform on ground, or use wall for support.
Maintain proper form to avoid shoulder and wrist strain. Stop if you experience pain in the shoulders, wrists, or lower back. Ensure the stability ball is properly inflated and secure.
