How to perform the stability ball dumbbell chest press. - sit on the stability ball while holding your dumbbells, then roll out until head and shoulders are supported.
- with feet hip-width apart, squeeze your glutes and push your feet into the floor to bridge up. Essentially, "you are your own bench," and the bracing through your core and glutes provides support to the rest of the body that is not supported by the ball.
- dumbbells should be lined up with the mid-chest (nipple line - let's not be shy about it), with the elbows line up under the wrists and a firm grip around the dumbbels.
Press the dumbbells straight up so that your arms are perpendicular to the floor - make sure your arms don't gravitate up over the shoulders, away from each other, or into each other. Don't clink the dumbbells!
- In a controlled manner, lower the dumbbells back to the starting position.
