How to: Seated Ballerina
- Sit on a stability ball with your feet flat on the ground, hip-width apart.
- Hold weights in both hands, arms extended at shoulder height.
- Slowly raise one arm to shoulder height while lowering the other arm, alternating sides.
- Maintain a controlled movement without swinging.
Common Mistakes
- Arching the back instead of keeping a neutral spine.
- Lifting weights that are too heavy, leading to poor form.
Modifications
- Perform without weights for a modified challenge.
- Use a stable surface instead of a stability ball if balance is an issue.
Tips
- Engage your core throughout the exercise to maintain balance.
- Start with lighter weights to master the form before increasing intensity.
