Seated Arnold Press on Exercise Ball with Power Weight Ball .
March 8, 2006
Begin with a seated position on the Exercise Ball, maintaining a neutral, stable posture on the exercise ball, a SPower Weight Ball in each hand. The arms begin extended forward of the body, straight out from the shoulder. The elbows are bent, the wrists staying above the elbow to begin the movement. Basically, the elbow is bent at 90 degrees at the start position. This is a four part movement. Part one, keeping the wrist above the elbow, extending the arms upward. Part two, turn the elbows out to the side without dropping the arms. Part three, let the elbows drop back to the 90 degree angle, but out to the side (as opposed to the front as in the start position). Part four, return to the start position. To make this exercise more challenging, you can alternate sets or repetitions by stabilizing with only one foot on the ground. Switch legs between sets.
