Proper Exercise Technique



Place hands on the floor just wider than shoulder width apart. Place the swiss ball under your legs. The beginner can start with the stability ball under their thighs while the more advanced trainee can start with the ball under their feet. Lower your chest to the ground and press. Variations include using only one leg on the swiss ball or even using two stability balls, one for each leg. Obviously the more advanced you make the exercise the more unstable it becomes thus involving additional muscle groups.
