2. Start bending your elbows and lower your chest until it’s just above the floor.
3. Push back to the starting position and roll the medicine ball to your right hand.
4. Repeat and roll the medicine ball back and forth throughout the entire set.

Proper Form And Breathing Pattern

Engage your core muscles and keep your spine neutral, with your head in line with your torso and your torso in line with your hips. Breathe in as you lower your chest and exhale as you push back up.

Exercise Benefits

The alternating medicine ball push up adds an element of balance and stability to the regular push up, forcing you to engage your core to a greater degree. By using a stability ball you also allow your muscles to move through a broader range of motion, which exposes them to more stress and results in increased growth.
