Balance Trainer Push Up

-
Balance Trainer Push Up gif
Targets: Middle chest

About

Bosu ball push-ups work your chest, triceps, core, and balance. The unstable surface helps boost your overall stability.

How to Balance Trainer Push Up

Starting Position

1. Place the stability ball on the floor with the flat side facing down.

2. Position your hands on the edges of the stability ball and take a push-up position.

3. Keep your feet shoulder-width apart and maintain a straight line with your body.

Proper Form

1. Slowly lower your body until your chest is close to the stability ball by bending your elbows.

2. Feel the tension in your chest muscles, pause for a moment, and then push your body back to the starting position by straightening your arms.

3. Engage your core throughout the movement to keep the stability ball steady.

4. Control the movement slowly to avoid losing balance and repeat.

Breathing Technique

Inhale when you lower your body, and exhale when you lift your body.

Precautions

1. If balance is difficult, start by reducing the number of repetitions and the range of motion for practice.

2. Keep your abdominal muscles engaged to prevent your lower back from sagging.

3. If there is too much strain on your wrists, adjust the wrist angle or lower the difficulty level.
