Double Tricep Kickbacks on a Ball
|
You can do tricep kickbacks from many different positions.
When lying on a stability ball, your lower back, shoulders, and core muscles will work much harder that when you use a bench for support.
Below are pictures of double tricep kickbacks on a stability.

Tricep Kickbacks Lying on a Stability Ball
Starting Position: Begin by lying on a stability ball while holding 2 dumbbells. Slightly lift your chest off the ball and tuck your chin so that your head and neck stay in good alignment.
Pull your upper arm up so that it is parallel to your body, and slightly pinch your shoulder blades together.
Form: Exhale and straighten your arms (kicking back the dumbbell). Hold for a brief second and then slowly return to the starting position.
Personal Trainer Tips: This exercise can be challenging to keep your balance.
When you straighten your arms, you might feel your body sliding backwards on the ball, especially if you are on a slick surface. You can brace your self against a wall and simply place your feet at the base of the wall to stabilize yourself.
Do your best to keep your spine in good alignment, and don't allow your forehead to point towards the ceiling.
Move in a slow and controlled manner, and make sure to pause at the top of the exercise.
If this exercise feels too challenging, you can try tricep kickbacks on a bench.
Conclusion
Tricep Kickbacks are one of my favorite tricep exercises, and I think they are one of the best tricep toning and tricep strengthening exercises for men and women.
Since you can do tricep kickbacks in many different positions, experiment and do the version that you like the most.
