Stability Ball Dumbbell Chest Press Cues:
- Start exercise in a table top position: core engaged, feet shoulder width and flat on floor, weight on heels, knees bent, shoulders and head supported on ball, engaged glutes for a straight line from knees-hips-shoulders, and hold dumbbells straight out in front of you.
- As you maintain a table top position; grasp dumbbells, keep dumbbells in line with your chest, slowly lower the dumbbells and bend your elbows into a 90 degree angle keeping wrist and elbow aligned.
- Use your chest muscles as you push through towards the sky and return to start position in a controlled movement while maintaining a neutral spine for one rep.
Ideas for Exercise Uses:
- Perform as a strength warm-up exercise before doing a heavy 5x5 bench press.
- Add as a strength training exercise twice a week to build a better push-up.
- Use as a push movement exercise with a stability ball workout routine.
