Fitness Ball Push-up

If you feel like you've already mastered a basic push-up, you might want to take it up a notch and try push-ups on a fitness ball. Just keep in mind that you should be able to perform at least 20 basic push-ups before your move to the fitness ball.

In addition to being good for your upper body, push-ups on a fitness ball will also help strengthen your core and improve your balance.

Here's how to do a push-up on a fitness ball:

• Get in push-up ready position with your chest on the stability ball and your hands at the side of your chest.
• Place your toes on the floor, with your legs straight.
• Push your body up until your arms are almost straight. (Make sure you don't lock your elbows).
• Hold the push-up for 2 seconds.
• Slowly return to the starting position. That's one rep.
• Do three sets of 10 to 12 reps, resting for 30 seconds between sets.
