A great functional exercise that targets the chest, rear shoulder, triceps and back. But what makes it great is that it also creates the need to activate the core and legs/glutes while balancing on the ball, so you get the added bonus of a great core and lower body isometric exercise. Try it out when your next in the club - Antoinette Tips Position the head & shoulders on the stability ball with the knees in line with the hips & the feet under the knees. Maintain the bridging position & lower the dumbbells above the head while keeping the elbow angle the same then return the dumbbells to the start position. The arms should remain parallel to each other & approximately shoulder width apart. Cautions Maintain a neutral & level pelvic position. Do not allow the lower back to excessively extend as the dumbbells are lowered. Primary Muscles Involved Pectoralis major Subscapularis Deltoid-posterior Teres major Latissimus dorsi Triceps brachii
