'Primary Muscle Mid Trapezius/ Latissimus Dorsi / Erector Spinae Start Lie face down on a stability ball, with your toes on the floor behind you and your knees bent slightly and off the floor. Your shoulders will be slightly ahead of the edge of the ball. Your abs should be contracted and your back and neck straight. Take a dumbbell in each hand with your palms facing inward and your elbows soft, have the dumbbells resting lightly on the floor. Your hands will be just ahead of your shoulders. Movement Lift Your arms directly out to the side in a reverse fly, contracting your shoulder blades together and flattening your upper body against the stability ball as you lift. Use your legs to keep your body stable on top of the ball. At the top of your motion, the weight should be at or slightly above the level of your back. Slowly lower the weight back to the starting position and repeat. Tips Keep your chin tucked under so your neck is an extension of your spine. This exercise is great to strengthen the postural muscles in your upper back and is a challenging exercise if performed correctly. You must be able to perform a reverse dumbbell fly on a bench before attempting this exercise. www.bodyimpress.com'
