Prone Shoulder Press Movement
1. Use a wall to support your back and have the stability ball in front of you, with a pair of relatively light dumbbells in your hand.
2. Place your hips and lower stomach on the ball, with your feet against the wall. Your abdominals, lower back muscles, and legs should be activated to hold the body's alignment. Align your head with your shoulders, hips, knees, and heels, and your body will be at an angle to the floor.
3. Place the dumbbells at shoulder height, then press the dumbbells up and over your head. Keep your arms in line with your torso throughout the movement, and make sure that your elbows don't drop toward the ground during the exercise.
