Exercises of the Week #20 - Another Full Body move with Free Weights and Yoga Ball

Some of our favorite functional fitness moves use the yoga ball and free weights. Here is one that focuses on strengthening the back, the abs, and working those troublesome triceps.

Tricep extension with abdominal stabilization/back stabilization from Live Functional on Vimeo.
This is a fresh tricep move, substitute the bench with the ball and get twice the workout.

Things to pay attention to in the video:

+ elbow position in the air, notice how much they don't move

+ shoulder blade position, notice where they are on the ball, and how much they don't move

+ hip position, notice where they are in space and how much they don't move

+ knee position, notice there position over the feet and how much they don't move. 

2-3 sets of 15-20 reps
