There are tons of awesome exercises out there to help you build muscle and burn fat.  You don’t need to include ALL of these exercises everyday, but it is important to change what exercises your flat stomach workout has every few weeks.

This week I’m going to suggest you try the Stability Ball Dumbbell Chest Press. This exercise offers all the benefits of a chest press while adding some difficulty and allowing you to further strengthen your core muscles.

Every woman should being doing the chest press (its not going to make you look like a man – we now know that there are many benefits of weight lifting for women).  The dumbbell chest press builds your chest muscles, which helps to increase your upper body strength. By building our chest muscles we also tighten our triceps. Tight triceps means sexy, toned arms in any sleeveless or strapless dress. This exercise also helps you build sexy shoulders without doing too much shoulder work.

By moving the dumbbell chest press from the bench to a stability ball, we increase the benefits by strengthening your core. In order to keep the stability ball ’stable’ you must engage your core and glutes during the entire exercise. Having a strong core and glutes helps to prevent back injuries in the future, as well as helping you reach your flat stomach goals faster.

Watch the quick video below to see the proper form for this exercise, to prevent any injury.

Happy Training!
