Extension and flexion of the arms in prone position ► push up

Individual work

Prone position on the exercise ball (hips resting on the ball, legs stretched out and raised off the floor as an extension of the body), hands placed on the floor supporting the upper body (wide arm position), arms bent and stretched (push-up).

Attention:
Always stabilise the head in the extension of the spine, elbows bent approx. 45° from the upper body ("A" shape with the arms), shoulders are fixed and pulled down towards the hips.

Lighten:
Just hold the position (without bending and stretching the arms); lower the upper body less (hardly bend the arms).

Harden:
Shift the ball further towards the feet.
