Exercise 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

1. Start in a push-up position with your shins resting on an exercise ball and your hands on the ground shoulder-width apart.
2. Engage your core and roll the ball towards your hands by bending your knees and pulling your legs inwards.
3. Pause briefly once your knees are close to your chest.
4. Slowly extend your legs back to the starting position, keeping your core tight and back straight.
