\"Stability<\/a>When it comes to stability ball arm exercises<\/strong><\/a> I can’t think of anything better than the pushup.\u00a0 Of course there are several exercises you can do – bicep curls, bridges, etc. but the best of the stability ball arm exercises belongs to the pushup.\u00a0 (See video below.) \u00a0Not only does a pushup on the stability ball workout your arms, but your core is activated because you have to keep your whole body balanced on the ball as you push up and down.\u00a0 Although it seems like one of the simplest exercises to do, I think it is one of the most challenging ones you can do on a stability ball.\u00a0 If you don’t believe me give it go.<\/p>\n

Stability Ball Arm Exercises – Ball Pushup<\/strong><\/h1>\n

1.<\/strong> Start standing with your arms straight out in front of you with your right hand pointing right and left hand pointing left. (This is the main position for the move.)<\/p>\n

2. <\/strong>Place your hands on the ball and walk your feet out away from the ball.<\/p>\n

3. <\/strong>Slowly lower yourself on to the stability ball and then push back towards the sky.\u00a0 Squeeze your stomach and your butt and try to keep your body in a straight line.<\/p>\n

After a few of these pushups, go down to the floor and see how easy it is to do them on a solid surface… uh huh right.\u00a0 Told you so.<\/p>\n

This workout done on the ball is MUCH better than doing it on the ground.\u00a0 It not only works out your arms, but engages your core and stability.<\/p>\n
