APRIL--INCLINE BALL CABLE FLY

 

This exercise strengthens primarily upper chest and front (anterior) shoulder.  It also strengthens the lower body, abdominals and low back (core musculature) while performing the exercise on a stability ball.

  • Attach single handles to two low cables, then put a stability ball between them.
  • Grasp handles, then sit on the ball and walk feet out until your midback is supported on the ball and torso is at an incline, knees bent, feet flat and separated hip-width on the floor.
  • Extend handles above chest, keeping chest lifted and arms in a slight arc; then bring arms out and down to your sides until they’re even with shoulders, palms up.
  • Maintaining the slight arc in your elbows, use chest muscles to bring arms back in and up above your chest. 
  • Repeat for all repetitions.
  • Depending on weight, do 3 sets of 10-15 repetitions.

 

Tip on Form:  Keep your chest lifted and elbows slightly bent, as if hugging a barrel.
