Then lie with your head, neck & shoulders on a Swiss ball (using it as a bench ) for a set of straight bar triceps extensions (hold the bar for 2 counts at the bottom with elbows bent to a 90 degree angle.) Drop the bar and put a plate behind your head for a set of Swiss ball abs, then repeat the series. SERIES 2. Begin with a set of incline biceps curls, hammer style, leaning back on a bench and using dumbbells (alternate arms: first right, then left.) Use the same set of dumbbells for concentration curls against a wall: hammer style. Finish with a set of push-ups, and repeat the series. Finally for SERIES 3, start with a set of straight arm lateral raises with dumbbells (lift arms to shoulder height on each side. hold for 2 counts, then lower.)
