Narrow Push-Up on Stability Ball
The push-up with the shins on a stability ball and the hands close together under the chest; the narrow base and raised feet load the triceps.
How to do it
Setup
Shins on the ball, hands on the floor under the chest a little narrower than the shoulders, body in one line.
Steps
- Lower the chest toward the hands, elbows tracking back.
- Keep the ball still and the hips level.
- Press back up to straight arms.
Common mistakes
Hips sagging: brace and squeeze the glutes. Hands drifting wide: keep them under the chest; the narrow base is the variant. Ball rolling sideways: steady it before each rep.
Breathing
Inhale down, exhale up.
