Exercise Ball Pull-In
Also known as: Stability Ball Knee Tuck • Swiss Ball Pull-In
Start in a plank, paws on the ground and feet on the ball - then pull those legs in like you're tucking up for a cozy bear nap! This move fires up your core while testing your balance and coordination. It's a fun challenge that builds strength where it counts, especially for bears who like to stay light on their toes.
Instructions

- Engage your core and roll the ball towards your hands by bending your knees and pulling your legs inwards.
- Pause briefly once your knees are close to your chest.
- Slowly extend your legs back to the starting position, keeping your core tight and back straight.
