Starting Position
- Push up position with hands on a physioball and feet on a box or bench
Procedure
- With your belly button drawn in, lower yourself to where your chest barely grazes the ball
- Control the ball as you push back up, holding your belly button in and pushing your sternum as far away from the ball as possible
Coaching Keys
- Lock your belly button drawn in to stabilize your pillar before starting
- Shoulder blades should be pushed away from each other in "plus" position (as far forward as possible) at the top position
- Keep your fingers pointed down the sides of the ball
You Should Feel It
- Working your abs, glutes, core, shoulder, chest, and arms
