Pole shaking is a great exercise for Chinese IMA styles
I like the exercise ball work.
The medicine ball is a great drill to. Have you even held the ball in front of you, one hand on top the other on the bottom. Turned the waist and as you turn the waist, reverse your hands, roll the ball between your hands so the opposite hand is on top when you are turned as far as you comfortably can turn. Then turn to the other side, reversing hands as you turn so the opposite hand is now on top. Turn back and forth as many times as you want.

Thanks for the comment. Yes that's an exercise I have some of my elderly students do.

Sorry that may have come off wrong. It's because it develops core muscles, arms, shoulders and back at the same time.
