Stability Ball Push Ups for Your Upper Body Workout

Video Transcript

"Next, I'm going to show you how to do a push up using a stability ball. What you want to do is grab your new best friend, right here. Get an angle here where you are comfortable on the ball, where the ball is not going to roll. So, stabilize your shoulders and get a grip on the ball from about here. Come back into a push up position keeping your back straight and your neck neutral with your spine. What you want to do is come on down and push that right up. Try not to arch your back. Try to keep your chest locked in, shoulders stabilized. That's what's going to help you stay balanced on the ball; and push that straight up from your chest. Again, down and come on up. Down and come on up. If you need to help you out with your balance, you can take a wider grip, a wider stance with your feet and your legs. So, that's what going to help you if you are a beginner at this. That's going to help you better maintain your balance. The closer your feet are together, the more your going to have to lock in your core to maintain your balance. It's more of an advanced movement and it's up and down. That's a push up using a stability ball."
