That's right, you're going to be in a push up position with your stability ball. This one is really effective, given you have the required upper body strength to perform the exercise properly. You can always try! If not, try some of these other < a href="http://www.smart-strength-training.com/stability-ball-abs.html">swiss ball workouts or push up workouts.

Although the chest muscles are the primary target of this exercise, it engages most other muscles in your body including core stabilizers. It's a fantastic warm-up exercise to help limber up those guns before hitting the weight bench or yoga mat.

Let's Do It!

Start by resting your stomach and upper thighs on the ball. Place your hands on the ground in front of you. Keep them straight and at a 90 degree angle with the ground.

"Walk" your hands forward like you're playing crab soccer in middle school. Your body will automatically roll the ball forward. Keep walking until the ball rests on your ankles or toes (the farther you go, the harder it becomes).

Remember to keep your back straight, abs tight and butt down. No exceptions! :)

Step 1: Lay down on your workout ball with your bell and upper thighs contacting the ball.
Step 2: Walk yourself forward with your hands and arms, rolling the ball forward. Keep going until your toes rest on the ball (you can make this easier by only continuing to your shins or knees.
Step 3: Go back the way you came, slowly returning to the starting position.

Remember, back straight, abs tight and butt down!

Always go slow!
