Exercise of the week...ball tricep push-up



Ball push-ups. Different variation that especially emphasizes the triceps muscles and core/trunk muscles.

To perform, place hands about shoulder width apart on ball, with feet same distance. While keeping abdominal muscles contracted in for stabilization, bend elbows and lower body down towards ball and then back up. Keep elbows in to better work the triceps muscle. For a more advanced variation, bring one leg off ground! Do 2 sets of 15-20 reps.
