Ball Jack Pushup
Dallas Personal Trainer - An excellent total body progression exercise that builds on the ability to perform regular pushups by engaging the core and balance intensely as well. It is not common to see a Dallas personal trainer having his/her client performing this exercise simply because it is a fairly high level exercise that not many people can actually perform unless the trainer has been deliberate to progress the client along a path that has allowed them to gain sufficient strength and coordination to perform this exercise.
If this exercise is a part of your workout program and you are not actually able to do full regular Pushups yet, we only want you to do as much of a pushup as you can even if you can only lower yourself 1 or 2 inches down for each pushup. Over time you will get stronger and be able to do full reps.
Get into a pushup position with your hands on the floor and your shins resting on an exercise ball. Do a full Pushups and then tuck your knees up to your chest. As you tuck your knees up to your chest, the ball will roll forward, leaving only your feet resting on it. Once you have tucked your knees up as far as possible, extend your body back out to the starting position. Repeat for the number of reps specified by your workout program. This exercise will give your core a much more intense workout that regular pushups.
As always, we do not recommend performing any exercise without the supervision of a highly qualified Dallas personal trainer. This exercise description is for informational purposes only.
