How to do it

Get on your hands and knees next to an exercise ball.
Place your elbows on top of the ball, keeping your arm out to your side. This will be your starting position.
Lower your torso towards the floor, keeping your elbow on top of the ball. Hold the stretch for 20-30 seconds, and repeat with the other arm.

Form tips

Start light and own the movement before adding weight.
Control the lowering phase — don't drop into it.
Keep breathing; exhale on the hardest part.
Stop if you feel sharp pain (different from muscle burn).
