The Triceps Pressdown video below shows you the right way to do this arm sculpting exercise! Always keep your elbows back and stationary! A little stretch at top is ok, but don't go so far the elbows move. Squeeze your triceps at bottom, error on the slow side! Check out the wrong way to do Triceps Pressdowns in episode Fit 153. Use various handles to change up this exercise. It is by far one of the best triceps shaping exercises you can do!

Glute Stretch with Stability Ball: Increase Low Back Flexibility, Relieve Sciatica.
Training: This is also featured on podcast "Fit Girl: Your Guide to Getting in Shape, episode Fit 183: Glutes, Guts, and Quick Weight Loss.
Check out the video below (and on Youtube.com/GetFitTV) for a great Glute Stretch with Stability Ball to increase Low Back Flexibility and Relieve Sciatica.
A form of this stretch is also used in my DVD workouts, Ball Sculpt 1: Nothing But the Ball and Ab Sculpt & Yoga Stretch
This stretch is much like the pigeon stretch in yoga. Using the ball enables a great lower back stretch at the same time. Plus, it's fun to do!
Stretching your glutes is important to the overall health of your back, especially the lower back.
If the glutes are over tight, they can affect the lower back, spine and even your upper back. Releasing the glutes with a solid, focused stretch like this one aids in proper alignment of the legs and hips, as well a release on the low back. It's all tied together! Sometimes we forget that each muscle does have a specific stretch! Be sure to include this one before and/or after your next weight training or cardio session!
