Ball push-up The stability ball enhances the benefits derived from push-ups. Lie with hands on top of the ball with legs fully extended. Push the body up, extending the arms and slowly lowering the body back down after a short pause. Ball chest with fly Lie back with shoulder blades on top of the exercise ball and the back extended. Bend the knees at a 90 degree angle and hold the dumbbells to each side of the body. Keep the elbows slightly bent, roll the dumbbells in and up then hold for a second before lowering them down. Ball push-up feet up Lie with thighs on top of the stability ball. Keep the legs and back fully extended and lift the hands on the floor with the elbows bent. Push the body up by extending the arms then hold for a moment before bringing the body back down. Ball bear hug Sit on a bench with the back straight. Grip the exercise ball against the chest and place hands on each side. Squeeze the ball towards the chest then allow it to squeeze out after a short pause. When the ball squeezes out, breathe in. Resistance bands Resistance bands can be very convenient to use and store. When picking out a resistance band for private personal training, it is important to consider the right resistance appropriate for the person's strength. Front squat Stand with the tube band with feet wider than the shoulders. Center the band between the feet then hold the handles firmly in each hand. Bring the top of the bands over each shoulder. Sit straight down with abs firmly tucked. Press the knees out over the toes then rise back up to the starting position. Leg extension Anchor the loop in low support position. Loop the other end around the ankle with the band positioned behind. Step away from the anchor to create tension in the band. Lift the leg from the floor and extend until the knee straightens out. Return to starting position then repeat. Standing adductor Anchor the loop band at ankle height to a support then stand facing the support. Wrap your hands around your ankles. Step away from the support to create tension. From a wide stance, bend into a squat then sweep the working ankle across the body past the standing leg. Always squeeze the thighs together. Lateral raise Stand with feet positioned at the center of the band, shoulder width apart. When your hands are down, make sure your palms are facing in. Bend the elbows slightly then raise the arms out to the shoulder level. Slowly lower down then repeat. Sylvia Nasser is an in home personal trainer Long island who owns the Fit Fem Studio.
