It's no secret that the push up has been a staple move in fitness over the past several decades. It tones and shapes the chest, back, arms and core with just one move. We know you despise them - that's because they aren't easy. But try a doing them a new way with a stability ball.
Roll out on to the ball so that your hands are shoulder width apart on the floor and either your knees, shins or toes are on the ball. The further out the ball, the more difficult it is. Inhale and lower your chest down to the ground by allowing the elbows to bend out away from your body. Exhale and push through your chest, arms and palms back to starting position. Repeat a total of 10 times.
Good pictures make this a really clear post. The stability ball is an amazing piece of equipment which work all the major muscles of the body. Also performing press ups on the ball is more functional than box press ups as it is more functional as you are performing a movement with better alignment
