Starting Position
- grasp a gym ball (or for instance a pilates ring) with both hands
- stand up straight with slightly bent legs
- the legs are opened hip width
- guide the gym ball up, until your arms are parallel to the ground
- angle the arms
- the elbows point out
Correct Execution
- brace the upper body and squeeze the ball as much as you can
- the arms stay up
- abate the pressure, build tension again and squeeze it again
- alternatively you can hold the contraction a bit longer (about 10 seconds) and train isometrically
- the head remains up, look ahead
