Step 1

Make sure you have space available.

Kneel in front of the ball, and place your hands on the side of it.

Step 1

Step 2

Brace your abs throughout this movement.

Roll over the ball, walking yourself forward with your hands until your feet are resting on the ball.

Step 3

Keeping your head in line with your spine and back straight, lower yourself in a controlled manner until your nose touches the floor.

Step 4

Slowly push back up. Repeat ten to fifteen times.

Note

All press-ups target similar muscles depending on body position – mainly the upper and mid-chest, triceps and back.

However, when your feet are elevated there is particular emphasis on the muscles of your back. Importantly, the lower back (or lumbar area) is exercised.
