How To

1. Start in push up position with one hand on a medicine ball, the other on the floor 2. Lower your chest down slowly, keeping your core tight and body straight 3. Push back up to starting position using your chest and arms 4. Roll the medicine ball to your other hand and repeat the alternating medicine ball push up movement 5. Keep alternating sides with each rep, maintaining control of the alternating medicine ball push up throughout

Form Tips

• Keep your core locked tight during the alternating medicine ball push up to prevent sagging hips • Control the ball roll between hands - don't let it get away from you • Lower slowly and push up fast for better muscle activation • Keep your alternating medicine ball push up movement smooth and controlled between sides

Common Mistakes

• Letting hips sag or pike up during the alternating medicine ball push up ruins your form • Rolling the ball too fast between hands creates sloppy movement • Rushing through reps instead of controlling each alternating medicine ball push up rep properly
