Topic description

From the push-up position, alternate between the forearm plank and the push-up position (bending and extending one arm at a time). The hands or forearms are placed on the balance half-ball. The legs are positioned on an unstable surface.

Attention:
Feet, knees, pelvis and shoulders form nearly a straight line (body engaged, pelvis pushed slightly upward). Do not fully extend the arms. In the final position, actively pull the shoulder blades together.

Lighten:
Perform the exercise without the balance board.

Harden:
Add additional weight (on the back).

Material

1 balance hemisphere

1 ball/balance cushion/balance board

1 weight vest/weight disc/sandbag ► to make the exercise more difficult (additional weight)
