STABILITY BALL CHEST PRESS

Hold two dumbbells at the level of your lower chest and press them upwards until your hands are straight above your shoulders. Be sure to keep your wrist stacked directly above your elbows during the entire motion. Lower the weight back down to your lower chest to complete a repetition.
