Works
Chest and shoulders
How to do it
1) Place the centre of a resistance band underneath a stability ball on a mat.
2) Lay on your back on the ball and walk forwards, until your head and upper back are supported. Keep your body in a straight line from shoulders to knees.
3) Take hold of the handles of the band and raise your arms so your hands are directly above your shoulders, palms facing each other, with a slight bend in your elbows.
4) Slowly take your arms out to the side, maintaining the bend in your elbows, so that your hands are level with your shoulders.
5) Bring your arms back to the centre in one slow and controlled movement and repeat.
Beginner: 2 x 8-10 reps
Intermediate: 2 x 10-12 reps
Advanced: 2 x 12-15 reps
Safety tip
Keep your hips lifted and stomach engaged; don’t allow your hands to come below your shoulders
