Stability Ball Chest Exercises

Video Transcript

"In this clip we're going to be doing knee to chest exercises with the stability ball. Okay you'll want to use a mat, or if you're on a smooth surface you can put down a towel, or, you know yoga mats work as well, but I like the cushion mat it gives more support to the back. Okay so you're going to roll down nice and slow. Ball overhead, legs nice and flat. Make sure the back is pressed firmly to the, to the mat to protect it. Elbows a little bit bent. And the basic option, or introductory option, brings the knees in to meet the ball and take the legs nice and flat. Okay, just bring in and squeeze, and relax the body down. Try a couple more this way and I'll show you the advanced option. Okay. Now if that's a little bit too easy for you, what you can do is you can bring the body up just a little bit with this exercise. You can come forward, back nice and straight, and then come back down. Bring it up and squeeze, and then come down. Okay now the most advanced option for this exercise you can bring the legs in, and then keep the legs extended. So if you're really strong in the core this will challenge you just a little bit more."
