Stability Ball Shin Push-up Cues:
- Start exercise in a plank position: shins on stability ball, core engaged, hands under shoulders, look three feet in front of you, and maintain a straight line from shoulders-hips-feet.
- Keep a straight line as you lead with chest and bend elbows close to your sides.
- Squeeze arm pits through contraction phase then return to start position in a controlled movement while maintaining a neutral spine for one rep.
Ideas for Exercise Uses:
- Perform as a modified variation of push-ups to help reduce the amount of resistance for the exercise.
- Add as a push movement for a stability ball workout routine.
- Use as a super set with a stability ball chest fly for an upper body workout.
