Ball Triceps Kickback
Muscles worked: Triceps brachii, Latissimus Dorsi, Teres minor, Teres major, Erector Spinae, Trapezius, Rhomboids
Start: Hold a weight in each hand and lie face-down on top of a stability ball. Slide your body back slightly to position your hips and lower abdomen on the ball. Curl your toes under to grip the floor and open your legs wide enough to feel stable. Raise your upper body a few inches so that your chest and shoulders rise up and your body forms a diagonal line from head to hips to heels. Reach your arms straight out in front of your shoulders, hands close to the floor. Then bend your elbows and pull your upper arms up behind your back, hugging your arms close to your torso, palms facing each other.
Technique Tip: Look down without lowering your head below shoulder level and tuck your chin into your neck to keep your cervical spine in line with the rest of your spine.
