Stability Ball Push Up on Thigh

Here is another challenging way to perform a push-up.

  • Lie on the SB on your stomach.
  • Place hands on floor and walk out on your hands so the SB is on your thighs.
  • Hands should be under your shoulders.
  • Shoulders, hips, knees in line (plank).
  • Stabilize arms and core so there is no movement.
  • Draw belly button in.
  • Maintain plank position and lower chest down towards floor.
  • Shoulders/hips/knees should stay in line.
  • No lateral movement of SB.
  • Upper arms parallel to the floor.
  • Extend arms and repeat.
  • To make more challenging move ball out to knees, then toes. The longer the distance between the SB and the shoulders the harder the exercise.
