Medicine Ball Walkover


               
Today’s exercise, The Medicine Ball Walkover is similar to a traditional push up, except it engages many more muscles due to the single arm load and the uneven surfaces. 

Begin by placing the ball in front of you.  Get into a plank position, similar to the traditional push up, with both hands on the ball and your feet out behind you.  Remove your right hand from the ball and set it on the floor to the right of the ball.  Shift the weight of your upper body over to your right arm.  Slowly bend your elbows and lower your body down towards the top of the ball.  Push back up to the starting position placing both hands once again on the ball. Remove your left hand from the ball and set it on the floor to the left of the ball.  Again, slowly bend your elbows and lower your body down towards the top of the ball. That is one repetition.
