Movement

1. Stand in front of the stability ball, with the dumbbells in your hands. Choose relatively light dumbbells to begin. Allow your arms to hang relaxed at your side.
2. Tighten up your abs and slowly and carefully kneel on the dome of the stability ball. Keep your core muscles activated, and your glute and leg muscle tense to help you keep your balance.
3. Make sure that your back is straight, and your head, shoulders, knees, and hips are all aligned. This will help with balance as well.
4. Once you are balanced, bring the dumbbells up to shoulder height. Your palms should be facing forward, and your hands will be held wider than shoulder-width apart. This is the start position.
5. Looking ahead of you, press the weight upward by extending your elbows until your arms are directly overhead with your hands next to each other. Your hands will describe a wide arc from the wider start position to the closed end position.
6. Lower the dumbbells back to shoulder height. Repeat for the required number of repetitions.
7. Most of your effort will be centered on the remaining balance on the stability ball. Being on the stability ball will prevent you from arching your back to push the weight up. Keep your movements slow, smooth, and controlled.
