The pushup with feet on Swiss ball is a progression of the decline pushup that targets the chest, shoulders, and triceps while engaging the core. The exercise emphasizes the upper chest and shoulders.
Instructions
Assume a pushup position with your arms completely straight and the instep of your feet resting on top of a Swiss ball. Your body should form a straight line from head to heals.
Lower your body until your body is one to two inches above the floor. Pause, then push up to return to the starting position.
Trainer’s Tips
Keep your elbows tucked in at your sides.
Keep your core tight and your back flat throughout the movement.
Place your hands directly on top of the Swiss ball to reduce the chance of injury.
