Stability Ball Push Up on Knees

This is another variation of a push up with your hands on an unstable surface. This builds upper body strength as well as shoulder and core stabilization.

  • Extend arms and place hands on the side of the SB, near top of ball.
  • Back should be fairly straight.
  • 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.
  • Once you master this exercise move on to SB push up on toes.
