How to perform it

  1. Start off by rolling your torso forward onto the ball so your hips rest on top of the ball and become the highest point of your body.
  2. Rest your hands and feet on the floor. Your arms and legs can be slightly bent or straight, depending on the size of the ball, your flexibility, and the length of your limbs. This also helps develop stabilizing strength in your torso and shoulders.

Muscles worked

The Pyramid primarily targets your Lower Back, with support from your Shoulders. You'll need exercise ball.

Make it count toward your goal

Random sets rarely move the needle. In NYUS, the Pyramid slots into a plan built for your goal — sets and reps set in the plan, logged in two taps, and folded into a weekly check-in that adjusts your calories, macros and step goal.
