Prone Plank Rotation on the ball
1. Start by placing your shins on top of the stability ball and getting yourself into a pushup position.

3. Proceed to return to the starting position and repeat with the other side.
4. If this is too difficult to control and balance at first then move the ball up towards your thighs and complete the movement from there. When you have more control then move the ball back down towards your shins.
Pushup with rotation
