Summary: Squeezing your glutes and pelvis, learn how to do hip rolls with a stability ball in this free exercise video from a certified Pilates instructor.
"In the next exercise, hip rolls, we are going to add the stability ball to increase the muscles that we are working. So, we are going to place the ball between our knees. We are going to take a nice inhale, and exhale, squeeze that ball as hard as we can engaging everything using the glutes and go ahead and roll up. And, inhale at the top, squeeze even harder, and exhale curl down, inhale, release. Exhale, squeeze the ball, close the ribcage, rotate the pelvis back and curl up. Inhale at the top and let's do little pulses. Exhale for one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. Inhale, exhale, re-engage the ribcage and slowly curl down. Another way that you can do this, is by doing pelvis presses. So that you can take once again a nice inhale, exhale, squeeze that ball and glutes as hard as you can, come up in one fell swoop, inhale, lower. Exhale, lift, inhale, lower. Exhale, lift, and inhale, lower."
