Stability Ball Push-Ups

Stability ball push-ups are a beginner-friendly exercise that strengthens your core, butt, and shoulders while building upper-body strength. Using the ball adds an element of balance, making the exercise more challenging and effective.

Start by placing a stability ball on the floor and kneeling in front of it. Rest your hands on the ball at shoulder width, keeping your arms straight and your core engaged. Extend your legs behind you so your body forms a straight line from head to heels, balancing on your toes.

Slowly bend your elbows to lower your chest toward the ball, keeping your core tight and hips lifted. Avoid letting your back sag. Pause briefly at the bottom, then press through your hands to return to the starting position.

Repeat for 8–12 controlled repetitions. Focus on maintaining balance, proper form, and steady breathing. This exercise tones your upper body, strengthens your core, and engages your glutes for full-body stability.
