No. You should give a muscle group at least 48 hrs to rest between workouts. For example: work the muscle group on monday and give them till at least wednesday to rest.
Hey Bart... typically that is true for resistance training exercises, but these are simply low intensity isometric exercises which are only performed for a few seconds each in order to 'activate' your core muscles. They can be performed daily without interfering with recovery... in fact, it would likely help improve one's posture.
You can do the plank with your forearms on the stability ball and feet on a bench, or vice versa. You can also do the back extension on a ball. Raising one arm or leg adds a core challenge.
But you should progress to other core movements as well.
You can add weights the Velcro types one at each point. I find these all the time at yard sales$1 if you want cheap workout stuff that is the ticket folks think they need to start exercising with money and you really need to do no weights first just walk and isometrics first then when you are getting better go to weights. I like water exercising best I have never come close to an injury in the water as with other forms of exercise. I see those norditrac's gazell's all the time big money to buy .
Of course; but I look at this just as developing a base for core strength. You also need to do more dynamic core movements (ie-floor wipers, hanging knee raise, ab wheel) and plenty of compound strength movements for full body (ie- deadlifts, squats, tire flip, push press, etc).
Yes, you really need to focus on engaging the deep core muscles during these movements. They aren't very challenging, but they will help to activate these muscles before heavy lifting, which (along with a dynamic warmup)can help prevent injury.

do you have to squeeze your muscles tight as you do these?

These moves look strange, but it will protect your back from injury, and fire up your scapular stabilizers. Try it.
