How to: Dumbbell Alternate Chest Press on Stability Ball
Sit on a stability ball with your feet flat on the floor and knees bent at 90 degrees.
Hold a dumbbell in each hand with your arms bent 90 degrees and elbows at shoulder height.
Press the dumbbells upwards until your arms are fully extended.
Pause briefly at the top, then lower the weights back to the starting position.
Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Common Mistakes
Lifting too heavy, which can lead to poor form.
Letting the hips drop while on the stability ball.
Not fully extending the arms at the top of the press.
Modifications
Use lighter weights for beginners.
Perform the exercise on a flat bench if stability ball is not accessible.
Tips
Maintain a slight bend in the elbows to reduce joint strain.
Keep your feet firmly planted on the ground to stabilize your body during the press.
Control the movement both on the way up and down to maximize muscle engagement.
