Firefighter Exercise Upgrade- Stir the Pot
This is the plank on steroids. The “stir the pot” exercise is similar to the plank except you rotate your arms in a circle while on the stability ball. This exercise will challenge your core and complete shoulder complex. You may want to start this exercise while on your knees then eventually move to the full version. If your having difficulty stabilizing on the ball, just try to hold the position and slowly work in the arm circles.
Here is a video demonstrating the exercise.
