Exercise Ball Exercises - Supine Pec Stretch
| Starting
Position |
- These exercise ball exercises require you to lie back
over the exercise ball with the ball centred under your thoracic spine.
- Bring your arms up so that your shoulders are at 90
degrees to your body and your elbows straight.
- Keep your pelvis in contact with the ball and let
your back sag into the exercise ball.
- Allow gravity to pull your arms back to the
floor.
- This is a particularly good exercise ball stretch for
swimmers, but avoid it if you have any history of shoulder instability.
