Elevated Pushups
Elevated pushups are essentially the same movement as exercise ball pushups. The difference, however, is that exercise ball pushups require a significant contribution from the abdominal core in order to balance the body, while this variation allows you to concentrate solely on working your chest. To perform the movement, get in a pushup position with your feet elevated on a raised surface, such as a chair or bench. Bend your elbows and lower your body towards the floor.
Lower your chest until it is hovering above the floor, then push yourself back up to the starting position. Only your arms should be moving while the rest of your body remains motionless. Tips
