Alternating Medicine Ball Push Up

BeginnerMedicine ball

This push-up variation puts one hand on a medicine ball, tipping most of your weight onto the other side. Alternating the ball between hands helps expose and correct side-to-side strength differences while your core works overtime to keep you stable. It hits the chest, shoulders, and triceps like a standard push-up but with a bigger balance demand.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Set up in a push-up position with hands slightly wider than your shoulders and one palm resting on top of a medicine ball.

  2. 2

    Raise your knees and hold a straight line from heels to shoulders throughout.

  3. 3

    Bend your elbows to lower your chest, keeping the elbows about 45 degrees from your body.

  4. 4

    Press back up once your chest is just above the floor, then roll the ball across to the other hand.

  5. 5

    Keep your shoulders and hips level and resist twisting as you switch sides, then repeat for your reps.
