How to Do Push-ups on a Stability Ball in a Bench Using Single Leg
The push up on the stability ball should begin with good posture to avoid injury. Brace the spine by drawing your lower abdomen inward. Your core muscles should be activated to support your posture as you perform the exercise.
If any pain is experienced, immediately stop the push-up on the stability ball.

Movement
Push-ups on a Stability Ball in a Bench, Using Single Leg Movement
1. Begin by coming into a pushup position with your feet and arms all on different objects.
2. Your right arm will be straight on top of a stacked bench so that your hand is flat on it. Your left arm will be straight on a stability ball so your palm is also flat in the middle of it. Lastly, one of your legs will be straight behind you on a chair so that your toe is on it. Your other leg will be straight behind you in the air so that it is hovering in the air over the chair.
3. Make sure all three objects are the same height off the ground.
4. Complete a push up by bending with your elbows and bringing your body down slowly so that your arms form 90-degree angles.
5. Pause at the bottom for a brief second before pressing yourself back up to the starting position.
