1. Starting Position:
Begin by placing the exercise ball in front of you.
Kneel on the floor and lean onto the ball with your chest and stomach.
Position the ball under your hips and place your feet behind you for stability.
Grip the Dumbbells:
Hold one dumbbell in each hand.
Bend forward at the waist, keeping your back straight.
Your arms should hang down toward the ground at your sides.
Positioning:
Ensure your knees are on the floor and your toes are tucked under for better balance.
Keep your core engaged to support your back and maintain stability.
Movement:
Start by bending your elbows at a 90-degree angle, pulling the dumbbells up towards the sides of your chest.
From this position, extend your arms straight back behind you while keeping your elbows close to your body.
Squeeze your triceps at the top of the movement.
Return to Start:
Slowly lower the dumbbells back to the starting position, maintaining control throughout the movement.
Ensure your elbows remain stationary and close to your torso during the entire exercise.
Repetitions:
Perform 10-15 repetitions for 2-3 sets, resting for 30-60 seconds between sets.
Tips for Beginners:
Start with lighter weights to master the form before increasing the weight.
Focus on a controlled movement, avoiding fast or jerky motions to prevent injury.
Keep your neck in a neutral position and avoid straining as you perform the exercise.
