How to Do DB Incline Press With Feet Together

The incline db press on the ball with feet together should begin with a good posture to avoid injury. Brace the spine by drawing your lower abdomen inward. Your core muscles should be activated to support your posture as you perform the exercise.

If any pain is experienced, immediately stop the incline db press on the ball with feet together.

Beginning

Beginning Dumbbell Incline Press on Ball

1. With your knees bent and dumbbells in hand, place your upper back on a stability ball. Reduce the height of your hips to three inches off the ground.

2. Raise the dumbbells above your shoulders. Straighten the dumbbells and raise them to the ceiling. Lower and repeat once the dumbbells are directly above your chest.

Movement

Dumbbell Incline Press on Ball Movement

1. Start by lying at an incline on a stability ball. You will be holding yourself up with your upper back and shoulders on the stability ball while bending your legs forward so that your feet are flat on the floor. Both of your legs and feet should be touching each other.

2. Begin by holding the dumbbells straight up in front of you so that your knuckles face the ceiling and your palms face away.

3. Slowly bring the dumbbells down and bend at the elbows so that they eventually make 90-degree angles.

4. At the bottom of the press, the back of the arms should be in a straight line, parallel to the ground, with your palms both still facing away.

5. Press back up from this position to the starting point, and repeat for several more repetitions.

Benefits

Dumbbell Incline Press on Ball Benefits

The primary benefit of incline presses is that they strengthen the upper region of the pectoral muscles. Because it's similar to a shoulder press, you activate your shoulders more when the bench is positioned at an inclination of 15 to 30 degrees.
