A single move is gaining traction online for promising a faster, more efficient workout: the skater with ball. This lateral, explosive exercise targets the gluteus medius and maximus while simultaneously engaging the obliques and deep abdominal muscles, offering both strength and calorie-burning benefits in one motion.
Performed by jumping side to side with one leg supporting and the other crossing behind, the drill can be intensified by adding a medicine ball or extra weight. Fitness professionals suggest pairing it with a GAP routine—glutes, abdominals and legs—that includes glute raises, bicycle movements and circular leg drills to train multiple muscle groups in a single session.
The original report on this trending move and GAP training approach appears at Marca.
