stability ball push ups

OMG can anyone besides Cathe and Crew actually do these? I've been doing Cathe DVD's for 3 yrs...but I cannot stay on that ball to save my life!

I got to experience Elmo pushups today for the first time. I cracked up when she explained why she calls them that. And since my stability ball is reddish I thought it was even funnier. I was able to sort of do a few of them, but I sure didn't go down very far before resorting to "ground work."

I had to set mine inside a riser AND up against a corner wall! Not shoulder friendly for sure! I think my core got a better workout than my triceps or chest! LOL

I spread my feet quite wide for added stability and eeked these out with lots of complaining in my triceps. Try the feet spread wide to see if it helps.

I left the ball on the floor, but put it against the small step that seperates my workout area & living room. It really helped, still couldn't do all reps, but alot more than other way.
