Legs on Stability Ball

For those who cannot do a conventional push-up, the stability ball will assist you as you get stronger. And for those who can, the balance and stability required on the ball will challenge you. Walk out farther so that the ball travels lower down your body to increase the difficulty. Once your feet are on the stability ball, this exercise is even more difficult than a conventional push-up. If you are really strong, you can try one leg on the ball and one leg in the air.

1. Start on the knees on the floor with a stability ball touching the front thighs.
2. Extend the body over the ball until the hands reach the floor.
3. Slowly walk the hands out and allow the legs to straighten until the pelvis rests on the ball.
4. Tighten the abs, keep the legs together and straight, and place the hands shoulder-width apart on the floor.
5. Bend the elbows and slowly lower the chest to the ground.
6. Extend the elbows to return to the starting position.
