. Execution: Use a smaller fully inflated stability ball (ideally 55 cm) and place it in the small of the back. Position the feet slightly out away from the body allowing for a small amount of recline into the ball initially. This can be increased or decreased based upon comfort, strength and stability. Next, slowly squat down on the left leg while allowing the right foot to trail behind the body. Pause for 2-3 seconds at the bottom, and then return to upright. Perform 8-10 reps and then switch legs.

Dynamic shoulder stability is important for optimal health and performance. Training it with emphasis on a comprehensive stability approach using the shoulder, torso and hips will promote integrated and coordinated movement. In this version, using the Unlimited Body Trainer offers a more unstable challenge for the whole body with variable levels of difficulty. Execution: Begin in a tall plank position with the hands on the inner handles (palms facing in) and feet shoulder width apart.

Execution: Position the cable at or near chest height. Grasp the handle with the left hand and extend the right arm fully so the two palms face each other. The right leg is positioned forward in a split squat stance with slight knee flexion in the front knee. Next, perform a row on the left side pulling back and into full left trunk rotation while simultaneously punching the right arm forward. This opposite arm action will further enhance the left thoracic rotation.
