Surf Tips

Swiss Ball Press Up – Hands on Ball

Level 1 - beginner

• Draw belly button to spine whilst maintaining a neutral spine throughout
• Lower chest to ball. Keep elbows above wrists
• Do not poke chin forward, let shoulders round or let the lower back drop
• Breathe out as push up

Progress to Level 2 - intermediate

• As above but full position with feet on floor. Hips held in line with the shoulders and knees
• Belly button drawn to spine and maintain a neutral spine throughout

Why this exercise?

Great alternative to a bog standard press up. Working on an unbalanced surface will incorporate working the core as well as the shoulder stabilisers. Try it, your shoulders will be working overtime to keep you balanced. Great to stimulate those little stabiliser muscles as well as strengthening the chest, shoulders and triceps. Good for the duck dives and initiate pop ups.
