Preparation: * Activate the core and glutes by drawing in navel towards the spine and squeezing the glutes. * Gently and carefully position yourself on the ball preferably in an upright position so you are comfortable and stable. * Start with a weight in one hand just above shoulder height, making sure wrist stay over the elbow at all times
Movement: * Standing in the upright position, having core activated and shoulders retracted to a neutral position start pressing the weight upward. * Keep elbow under the wrist at all times and push the weight up to a comfortable height. * At the completion of the push, allow the arm to descend in a controlled manner to the starting position. Then repeat.
Always keep the movement smooth as sudden or fast movements will change the base of stability and force the core to react which can cause compensations to occur.
