This is a shoulder stability exercise for the mid trapezius using an exercise ball.
- Set up in a hands-and-knees position over the ball, where you’ve got your tummy on the ball
- Make sure your neck is long and your chin tucked in, maintaining some length
- Lift your hands with the palms forward and thumbs pointing up with your hands just above the shoulder
- From here, we’re going to bring the arms up towards the ceiling as you breathe out, working that mid trapezius muscle
- Breathing in lowering down, trying to maintain a good position on the forearm.
- As you breathe out we’re going to lift the arms up towards the ceiling
- Breathe in, lower down maintaining that neck position
Work to fatigue. When you start having trouble controlling your shoulders, take a rest.
