Stability Ball Push Up on Bench

This is the most challenging SB push up, and requires a great amount of core strength and shoulder stabilization. This should only be done when you have mastered the SB push up on toes.

  • Extend arms and place hands on the side of the SB, near top of ball.
  • Place feet on a 12"-24" bench.
  • Back should be fairly straight.
  • Shoulders and hips in line.
  • Feet hip width apart.
  • Draw in belly button towards spine.
  • Slowly lower chest and hips toward SB.
  • Make sure that the SB does not move.
  • Bring chest to the SB.
  • Elbows should be in line with upper back.
  • If you cannot stabilize the SB, then do not do the exercise.
  • Want something harder? Try doing it with one foot off the bench.
