- 15:03that ball
- 15:04in a comfortable spot on your chest
- 15:07so that way you can lean over the ball
- 15:11without it being uncomfortable and it's
- 15:14keeping you lifted slightly so you still
- 15:15want to think about
- 15:16neutral spine here you're not releasing

- 15:38time
- 15:43so if you have a hard time going into
- 15:45extension
- 15:46this is a great way to start building
- 15:49that strength
- 15:52or if you really enjoy extension
- 15:55this is a way to get a greater range of
- 15:58motion
- 15:59through your spine
- 16:04and lift so engaging your glutes
- 16:05slightly with this movement

- 16:31gives you a little leverage
- 16:32you can do this with or without the
- 16:34weights take one arm reach it out to the
- 16:36side
- 16:37so i have my palm facing out and then
- 16:39lower back down
- 16:41switch to do the other side so you're
- 16:43opening up your chest
- 16:45and you're not forcing that movement so
- 16:47you're just opening
- 16:48up your arm in a natural position here
- 16:52so opening and then releasing back down
- 16:55i think open up to expand and then lower

- 17:06and lower
- 17:10good you got this four more
- 17:16three
- 17:18two one more here

- 17:26taking the weights out to that cactus
- 17:28position again
- 17:29leaning over the ball where you're
- 17:31engaging your belly button towards your
- 17:33spine
- 17:34start with the weights right in by your
- 17:36shoulders lift the chest
- 17:38extend your arms out to the sides bring
- 17:41them
- 17:41in and then lower back down so first
- 17:45it's a lift
- 17:46then it's extend bend
- 17:49and lower again lift
- 17:52extend bend and lower
- 17:56so you should feel the strength through
- 17:59the back
- 18:00of your arms as you extend your arms

- 18:48palms are facing up so you may need to
- 18:50adjust that ball if it rolled forward a
- 18:52little bit
- 18:53find that nice position where your chest
- 18:56is open
- 18:57be careful that the shoulders are not
- 18:58rounding forward if you're having a
- 19:00really time
- 19:01really hard time keeping the chest open
- 19:05i would do this without the weights that
- 19:07way you can start building
- 19:08that neuromuscular connection so the
- 19:10ability of your body
- 19:12to tell your muscles what to do with
- 19:14this movement
- 19:15so lifting your arms up and down going
