Techniques
- Begin on all fours with your shins and toes resting on the fitball
- Now slowly lift your knees so your body is in a straight line from shoulders to toes, you may need to walk forward with your hands slightly
- Slowly lower yourself towards the floor until your chest is a few inches from the floor
- Now raise yourself again so your arms are almost straight
- Repeat steps 3 and 4 until you can no longer maintain correct technique
Tips
- For your first attempt of this exercise ask someone to hold the ball steady for you, if nobody is around then place the ball against a wall for stability - ONLY for your first attempt though!
- To make the exercise harder you can take your shins off the fitball so it is only your toes resting on the fitball
- Be sure to keep your BACK STRAIGHT at all times
- This is one of the hardest of the push ups so be sure you can manage at least 10 normal push ups before attempting this
