Flutters
Lay over a stability ball with your torso resting on the ball. Raise your arms out to the side so they are parallel to the floor. Now rotate your arms so your thumbs are pointing to the floor. This is your start position. From here, squeeze you shoulder blades together and raise your arms, keeping the arms straight at all times.
Hold for a few seconds and lower to start position, the movement is literally only a few inches and you will not need any weight.
Repeat 6 times then rotate your arms so your thumbs are pointing forwards. Then repeat another 6 times. Finally rotate your arms so your thumbs point to the ceiling and repeat another 6 times. That is one set
