If you’re looking to build strength in the upper body, here’s a simple exercise ball workout for you to try.
- Complete all sets of an exercise in a row, with a 45-second rest in between each set, before moving on to the next exercise.
- Choose weights that allow you to finish each set while maintaining good form.
1. Exercise ball push-up
- Aim for 3 sets of 10 repetitions (3×10)
- For an easier version of this move, try a BOSU ball (round side down) or push-ups on mat.
2. Exercise ball barbell skull crusher
- Aim for 3 sets of 15 repetitions (3×15)
3. Exercise ball dumbbell chest press
- Aim for 3 sets of 15 repetitions (3×15)
4. Exercise ball alternating dumbbell fly
- Aim for 3 sets of 15 repetitions per arm (3×15)
- Remember to do each arm: 1 rep with one arm, then 1 rep with the other arm. Repeat until you’ve done 15 reps per arm.
