Alternating Medicine Ball Push Up Video Exercise Guide

The alternating medicine ball push up is a variation of the push up and an exercise used to strengthen the muscles of the chest, triceps, and shoulders.

The alternating medicine ball push up is typically done in an explosive fashion – and often seen performed by combat fighters as a form of conditioning.

The medicine ball used increases the range of motion slightly on the side it is positioned. This slight elevation will also provide a core challenge as you stabilize the body during the push up range of motion.
