Lying D.B. Chest Press on S.B

Using a stability ball while performing a chest press offers a distinct advantage over a bench. When you press on a ball, you increase the demands on your stabilizer muscles, the core, and even the hips and hamstrings. Keep in mind, the more muscles you incorporate into an exercise, the better it is for the body as a whole. I have clients set this exercise up by starting with the dumbbells in their lap (seated on a ball). Slowly walk your feet out and lay back on the ball. When in proper position, your head should be supported on the ball and your hips should be up with your feet slightly wider than shoulder width. Tempo should initially be slower while pressing to allow your body to get used to stabilizing throughout the exercise.
