Once again, I saw the mention of a stability ball and got excited, only to be dissappointed that the alleged Queen of the Stability Ball wasn't pictured in her own blog. If I were to post a comment that wasn't expressing my dissapointment, it would be to indicate that I also do chest flys on the stability ball. They can be done one armed with one dumbell, promoting balance, or with both arms using a pully machine for variety. The positioning on the ball is as mentioned by the Q of the SB on her blog, although when doing them one armed it helps to have a wide base with your feet. I do a lot of my strength training using a stability ball. Unfortunately, I can't balance while kneeling on one. But, if I could, I would gladly post the picture of it on this otherwise excellent blog.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8566689948017282782.post-65882024181598423922008-11-20T13:14:00.000-05:002008-11-20T13:14:00.000-05:00Nice new format!

I've always rested more of my back on the ball during this exercise, so that my head is almost off the ball and my legs are less engaged. I'm going to remember "Head Neck Shoulders" next time!tfhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10735303292996192352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8566689948017282782.post-68855137994765644912008-11-19T10:09:00.000-05:002008-11-19T10:09:00.000-05:00I would probably die if I attempted this LMAO!I would probably die if I attempted this LMAO!Marcyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14148093449696230770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8566689948017282782.post-70961404228624734242008-11-19T09:33:00.000-05:002008-11-19T09:33:00.000-05:00I am not perfect BUT I often see so many at the gy...I am not perfect BUT I often see so many at the gym lifting wrong.

The problem I see mostly is the dropping of the elbows which results in a pulling, straining on the anterior shoulders. If people have any shoulder pain, this may be a result. This is a great exercise for chest/shoulders just make sure the elbows don't fall below the shoulder level or parallel to the floor. :)Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10772288061645106211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8566689948017282782.post-20177876378917610702008-11-19T08:18:00.000-05:002008-11-19T08:18:00.000-05:00That is not one of the exercises that I do, but if...That is not one of the exercises that I do, but if I start, I'll be sure to refer to this post (or give you a holler!) about form.<BR/><BR/>The Trainer that I work with also emphasizes good form. I'm guilty of holding my shoulders too high most of the time. He's always reminding me to relax and drop my shoulders.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03231464198799653331noreply@blogger.com
