Pyramid

What it is

This exercise involves a static hold on an exercise ball, positioning your hips as the highest point of your body. It effectively strengthens your lower back and also engages your shoulders for stability.

Technique tips

• Keep your hips positioned as the highest point over the exercise ball.
• Maintain light contact with the floor using your hands and feet.
• Adjust your arm and leg position for optimal comfort and stability.
• Engage your core muscles to enhance overall torso stability.
• Breathe steadily and deeply throughout the static hold.

How to track your progress

Log the hold time of each set. Straddly keeps your best hold for this exercise and tells you when you beat it, so a two-second gain does not go unnoticed.
