Default What can I do besides the prone jackknife?

I am new to this. I cannot keep that ball from running away from me.
Can anyone suggest something that works the same muscles.
Thanks.

Or just hold the plank position with the ball under your shins. This way you will "learn" how to stabilize to progress later on.

Now Sharon, if I have to do these, you have to do these haha!

Actually I feel that falling off the ball burns extra calories and makes me stubbornerer. .

I'm with Julie. Keep trying to balance.

I couldn't do them at the start, and I still can't do them worth crap....but I do them.

I gave up trying to do a set number, spent a few good moments getting my balance and form right, then would do one. And they still hurt like hell, which means my core isn't in too good of shape (which I know.)

I still only can do 8 of them, and only the first 5 can I do well.

Seriously, just keep doing them.

I agree to keep at them. It is such a sense of accomplishment, when you do get them. They are hard, but effective.
Hang in there and keep trying them.
