This first exercise is aimed at working your shoulder blades. You need a resistance band and an exercise ball, sometimes referred as a balance ball. Sit on the exercise ball with your back in an upright position. Hold the resistance band with your let hand from the middle of the band. Hold the handle with your right hand.

Your starting position with your right hand should be where your left hand is, right beside your hip. Imitate the action of withdrawing a sword with your right hand and stretch your arm at a 180 degree angle and push it as far as it can go. This exercise requires you to do it very slowly to ensure that you do not get any injuries. This next exercise is aimed at working your biceps. Sit in the same position on the exercise ball as the first exercise. Place the centre of the band under neat both feet and hold each handle in either hand. With your palms facing outwards, bring your arms from facing downwards to a facing upwards position and repeat.

This third exercise is aimed at working your shoulder blade. Simply kneel down with your back straight. Place your arm full stretched out with your hand firmly placed on the exercise ball. Make sure the exercise ball is in a diagonal angle. While remaining stationary, only roll the ball like from right to left like turning a car steering wheel. Only go as far as you can go. Make sure you do not over stretch your shoulder blade as this can easily be damaged.

This last exercise is aimed at working your calf and leg muscle. Place the exercise ball against a wall. Place your chest/stomach area pushing against the exercise ball. With one of your legs behind the other slowly roll the exercise ball up and down. It is recommended to start these exercises with 3 sets of only 10 reps each.
