This exercise is done just like a regular pushup, except you bring your hands in closer and balance on the ball. This will work your chest as well as your triceps and shoulders. Vary different pushups and you'll find that you can do more and more with greater ease. You can also do a modified version of this on your knees.
- Place your hands on the ball, thumb and pointer fingers underneath your chest in the shape of a triangle.
- Put your feet together.
- Inhale as you lower your upper body (Being sure you don't dip your hips) until your chest can touch your triangle.
- Exhale as you push yourself back.
- Repeat.
