Exercise Description

The swiss ball push up exercise builds chest strength while forcing your core to work overtime for balance. It's a push up that fights back, making you stronger.

How To

1. Place your hands on the swiss ball slightly wider than shoulder-width apart, fingers spread for grip. 2. Walk your feet back into a plank position with your body straight from head to heels. 3. Lower your chest toward the swiss ball by bending your elbows, keeping your core tight. 4. Push through your palms to return to the starting position, maintaining control throughout. 5. Complete your reps slowly - the swiss ball push up rewards steady movement over speed.

Form Tips

• Keep your core locked tight throughout the entire swiss ball push up to maintain balance and protect your back. • Place your hands firmly on the ball with fingers spread wide for maximum grip and control. • Lower yourself slowly and push up with control - rushing kills your form. • Keep your body in a straight line from head to toes throughout the movement.

Common Mistakes

• Letting your hips sag or pike up during the swiss ball push up ruins the exercise and stresses your lower back. • Placing hands too close together on the ball makes balancing much harder than it needs to be. • Moving too fast turns this controlled strength move into a wobbly mess.
