I must confess my jackknives are pretty pathetic, but as I've continued I've gotten more stable on the ball & they feel a bit better. When I start getting tired I feel a bit of strain in my lower back.

I'm trying to work on that by doing supermans & making sure my lower back is well warmed up before exercising.

You might try keeping the ball further up your legs & gradually moving out closer to your feet as you grow stronger.

You're smart, listening to your body!
