Description of exercise Quadruped neck stabilization with a ball exercise is a core strengthening exercise that targets the muscles in the neck, shoulders, and upper back. It involves starting in a quadruped position (on hands and knees) with a stability ball placed under the chest. The individual then slowly rolls the ball forward, keeping the core engaged and the neck in a neutral position.
