Stability Ball Push Ups for Any Body
Video taken from the channel: Jennifer Adolfs
There are 3 levels of push ups so anyone can do them properly and safely. Loading Autoplay When autoplay is enabled, a suggested video will automatically play next.Begin by placing the stability on the ground and position your hands slightly wider than shoulder width on the ball. Make sure your arms are straight and extended like a standard push-up.
Now, spread your legs out wider than shoulder-width distance apart.Press again, and up, press again, and up. Hand placement very important, nice and controlled as always, up and down, slow and controlled movement, body planked out, no sagging, no pointing up. That.Prop yourself up on the ball in an elevated pushup position, with your palms down and your hands pointing away from each other.
To keep yourself stable, squeeze your glutes and core, maintaining.The Decline Push-up, Knee Tuck, and Pike Series. Time to turn up the intensity. This set of three consecutive stability ball exercises – decline push up, knee tuck, and pike – will make you stronger and burn some serious calories.
Do all three exercises consecutively, 12 times, then take your one-minute break until the next superset.While making your body maintain a line from your heals to your shoulders, complete a repetition by lowering your chest to the ball by bending at the elbow and shoulder joints, then press your body up to return to the starting position, much like a standard push-up. Repeat the exercise for your determined desired number of repetitions.
Get down on your hands and knees, with a stability ball behind you. Your hands should be positioned slightly wider than shoulder width. Extend your feet backward, place them on the stability ball, and straighten your body.Exercise 1. From the starting position, slowly bend your arms and descend toward the floor in a push-up. Stop when your elbows are at a 90-degree angle.
Place your hands to the sides of the ball close to the top, positioning your hands directly under your shoulders and elbows by your side. Think about trying to squeeze the ball between your hands to create more strength and stability.Advanced Stability Ball Pushup Position Walk yourself out until your shins or feet are positioned on the stability ball with your body long and strong like a plank, you can flex slightly at the lower back to protect it from hyper-extending. Your hands should be positioned directly under your shoulders.How to do push ups.
Starting position is arms extended and shoulder-width apart whilst you are facing the floor. Make sure your palms are directly under your shoulders on the floor.START: Get into a pushup position resting your left hand on a medicine ball and your right hand on the floor. GO: Lower your chest to about an inch above the floor and then press up.
From the up.Try a single-leg medicine ball pushup. As the name implies, this type of pushup calls for you to lift 1 leg up while performing the medicine ball pushup.
Perform any kind of medicine ball pushup as you normally would, but lift your back foot off the ground behind you.Starting Position Place both hands on a stability ball and position the rest of your body like a plank. Your abdominals should be held in so that your stomach does not dip, and your back should be flat so that your buttocks do not come up. Keep your feet hip-width apart for stability, and, if needed, put the ball against a wall for support.Lift the heals off of the floor.
Place your feet at a width for the desired level of stability challenge. A narrow foot stance is more challenging than a wide foot stance. Complete a repetition by bending at the elbow joints, bringing your chest to the ball, then press your body away from the ball to return to the starting position.

Tryed this exercice in my new program for the 1st time,,, Not easy. Will put the ball up against the wall next time! Thanks @David Church!
It’s amazing to see Scott’s channel grow and grow and grow. He puts a lot of time in to his channel and has the results to show for it.
im 6,7 and 17.5-18 stone and as a beginner the weight is insane:(
@ScottHermanFitness no that was a tbar row, i meant the bent over rows with both the hands on the sides.
@gylmdyh yes. even i was very sad since i workout well for abs but nothing was coming. Listen to this I saw an interview with body building champion where he talks about 7 odd foods he eats to keep his abs hard. worth watch here now > bit.ly/RIgzi3?=vlmdmh
this is very difficult one..also u can sometimes combine it with knee tuck..
It’s hard to keep the balance but I think that with some practice it will eventually become easier.
@captainspiwtf It means you have to train your stabilizers a bit more. You shouldn’t just work out the pectoralis majors, but also minors. Same with MANY MANY MANY other muscle groups. It will REALLY help you in the long shot.
Try putting your hands on a foam roller while your legs are on the exercise ball! Now that’s a push-up!
@ScottHermanFitness You are so right Scott… many people are limited to just an exercise ball. I see that in my training all the time. Keep up the awesome posts!
this shit takes practice but its a really good workout even if u cant do it too good. try putting it next to a wall for extra support.
this exercise is harder than it looks. I tried it and almost landed on my face:D really keeps your core engaged. thx
You should do a video of stuff you can use at home to work out
first comment: just got one of these, very helpful. thank you for posting. do more swiss ball plz
The goal is to improve stabilization endurance and enhance joint stabilization and its great for increasing lean body mass…I do supersets with a bench press for strength and the ball push up for stabilization
@MrAmmo30 You cant do spot fat removal, your body will decide where the fat is coming off when you do cardio to burn the fat.
1 year ago? I hope in 1 year you have built up your core strength
@AcruxSolus you sound like you have no idea what you are talking about. using a stability ball to engage more (core) muscles works you twice as hard…..
scott you haven’t done a tutorial for bent over barbell rows. please make one.
the more inflated the ball, the better? is harder or easier? great vid
@mohdismael93 oh you mean like the one I posted last Saturday? 😉
i suspect the fitness model doesnot know anything about body neutral alignment. he is looking forward damn it. And i wanted to use this video as a reference.
I never understand the hate on these videos… I mean it’s a new exercise, a good one of that, that’s great to chuck into your routine once in a while, and ya don’t look like a muppet doing it.:)
It would be a shame if you did not burn fat when other people are able to lose weight easily with Fat Blast Blueprint (check it out on Google).
@MrAmmo30 You can’t spot reduce fat. You’ll havta stick to a clean cut intake (food), and get on your cardio. Then you will achieve the results you look for.
Hey thanks for this. Almost all the google images I searched on this exercise had their feet instead of toes resting on the ball, which I was very skeptical about. Glad I found this video; I knew toes were the right way.
you cant isolate a single part of one muscle as the muscle fibers all work once under tension but it should feel like its at the top of the chest
Absolutely, a beginner can’t maintain the balance. This exercise requires a good feeling at your core when you do the push-up.
@AcruxSolus Are you serious? Toes on the ball is going to engage your core. In fact, most beginners cannot even maintain their balance while doing this exercise. Also, for those who can only workout at home and who are limited to maybe a ball, some small dumbbells and bands, this is a great way to intensify their home routine my friend.
@jaylimkinchiu1 you cant build mass in your wrists, but you can hit those forearms for sure! Check out my forearm workout!:)
Hahaha, if the ball slips, or blows you’re frucked!
Tried it out yet?
@Baieke there’s many exercises one can do, he’s not running out of ideas, your just a close minded, ignorant fuck
scott can you make a video on ways to lose stomach fat please? im a teenager and im skinny and fat at the same time haha i have lots of fat accumulated around my stomach and i want to lose it. thanks
I started doing these after a surgical repair on a torn labrum in my shoulder. The ball forces the shoulder muscles and joints to work for balance while strengthening them at the same time.
@AcruxSolus LOL i was a national swimmer and believe i am hitting my intermediate levels of strength and conditioning…. i cant even keep my body still on ball upright pushups (where you engage your shoulders the most). it hits the core soooo hard
how big my ball has to be? I am 183 cm long and my arms are 75 cm…(I am from Europe 😉 )
@ScottHermanFitness @AcruxSolus
Exactly, Scott is right!! I’ve got a ball at home and some times I can’t always get to the gym so I do this at home and it is so hard it really does work your core!
So this is the 10th version of an elevated push up you´ve done?
hey scott nice video, just a quick question ive been working hard at the gym for the last few months mainly focusing on my abs, im happy with my body right now and i have to go on a school camp next week for 10 days of non stop hiking (12-15 miles a day) with heavy backpacks, should i do crunches and push ups at night to stay in shape or will the hiking be enough?? thanks for all your help!
@MrAmmo30 what is wrong with the 100s of videos about total body training already available brotha??!?! You need to jump on the facebook page so we can help you out more!:)
Great stuff man. I thought I was strong til I tried this, lol. No doubt it works though.
@ScottHermanFitness those are great lol its just most of ur videos are centered towards workout routines, hardly any about cardio and fat loss, ive just liked your facebook page:)
My exercise ball moves around too much, is that a problem for anyone else?
wow this is a crazy old vid and astoundingly underviewed! This was well made even back then.
I just bought a ball for stretching but of course i tried pushups with it and i was so shakey lol. Obviously that means one has no stability and therefore all kindz of weakness. All kindz.
Im going to try these for chest finishers for the next while and see if i can fully eliminate shakiness.
@AcruxSolus You clearly have no idea how to workout. Go back to your machines and leave the good stuff for the real men
can this exercise be done daily, or should i take rest between days?
Good exercise but not easy. You can also put the ball up against a wall to stabilize it some if needed, or get someone to hold it. One of those BOSU balls would probably be easier for most folks and less likely to get hurt by slipping off.
@MrSwedishJesterhead apparently there are a lot of versions:)
@MalcomTV2 lol good question:| u make noobs look like experts
@MrAmmo30 you cant target fat loss, just do cardio and eat right and it will go
@MalcomTV2 because the purpose of the exercise is to increase the strength of your core my friend!:)
