Push Up on Med Ball

Push-Ups on Med Ball

To perform proper Push-Ups on Med Ball, you must:

  1. Starting Position: Kneel on an exercise mat or floor and bring your feet together behind you. Slowly bend forward to place your palms on the sides of a medicine ball.
  2. Stiffen your torso by contracting your core and abdominal muscles (“bracing”). Your head should be aligned with your spine.
  3. Slowly lower your body towards the ball while maintaining a rigid torso and head aligned with your spine. Do not allow your low back to sag or your hips to hike upwards during the downward phase.
  4. Contract your glutes (butt) and quadriceps (thigh) muscles to help maintain stability.
  5. Continue to lower yourself until your chest nears or lightly touches the ball. Your elbows should either remain close to the sides of your body or flare outwards slightly.
  6. Press upwards through your arms while maintaining a rigid torso and head aligned with your spine. Do not allow your low back to sag or your hips to hike upwards.
  7. Continue pressing until the arms are fully extended at the elbows.
