Lying Hip Lift (on stability ball)
Perform the lying hip lift on a stability ball to strengthen your glutes and hamstrings.
- Lie on your back with your upper back and shoulders resting on the stability ball.
- Place your feet flat on the floor, hip-width apart.
- Engage your core and lift your hips towards the ceiling, forming a straight line from your shoulders to your knees.
- Hold for a moment, then lower your hips back to the starting position.
How to perform the Lying Hip Lift (on stability ball)
- Set up. Set up in a stable, balanced starting position appropriate for the Lying Hip Lift (on stability ball) using your stability ball.

- Reset. Reverse the movement under control and reset between repetitions, keeping your form crisp on every rep.
