Minor correction to previous comment - should start with sides of fists on ball, then as you roll out, forearms come onto ball.

A message of pure gratitude as your book on Chi Running has completely changed my running experience. In only three and a half years I've gone through patellar tendonitis (in both knees), plantar fasciitis, and many other injuries I can't even describe.

Hi Danny - a great variation on that core exercise is one I’ve been working on lately. Kneel on the floor with a pad under your knees and place your forearms on a stability ball. Engage your core and roll the ball away, remaining in a straight column from your knees to your shoulders (or ears!). I hold about 30-60 sec, roll back up and repeat 5 or so times. It does work the triceps a little which carries over to my swimming, but the core really gets it!
