I, Y, T, and W Formations

I, Y, T, and W Formations

6 / 7

by POPSUGAR Fitness 4

Lie your belly on an exercise ball. Plant your feet firmly on the floor, hip distance apart, to help stabilize your body.
Fully extend both arms straight in front of you, coming into the "I" formation (1). Hold here for five seconds.
Then bring your arms slightly out to the side, so they are at a 45° angle (2). Hold for another five seconds.
Extend your arms out in "T" formation so they are perpendicular with your torso (3). Hold for five seconds.
Then bend your elbows, keeping them lifted and in line with your shoulders, coming into "W" formation (4). Hold for another five seconds.
This counts as one repetition. Complete a total of ten to 12 reps.
