Instructions
- Lie face down on a swiss ball with your chest parallel to the floor. Let your arms hang down on either side of the ball with your palms facing backward.
- Tighten your core muscles and pull your elbows towards your upper back so that they are in line with your shoulders. Your elbows should be bent at 90 degrees, and your arms should be parallel to the floor.
- Keeping your elbows in the same position, rotate your forearms up and toward the ceiling as far as possible. Pause and reverse until you return to the starting position.
Tips
- To prevent the body from rolling back and forth, the knees should remain slightly bent.
- Keep your core tight throughout the exercise.
