Push Up - Offset, Med Ball Alternating

Is this for yourself or for a patient?

HOW: Start on your hands and your feet, have your hands positioned under your shoulders. One hand should be on top of a med ball, the other on the ground. To begin the exercise, assume a plank position with your feet pushing into the ground and you back flat. Keeping your body straight, lower your chest down towards the ground as far as you can, push up to the starting position. Then, switch the med ball to the other side and repeat. 

FEEL: You should feel your chest and core muscles working. 

COMPENSATION: Maintain a flat back and keep your body parallel to the ground. Don’t twist your body due to the med ball.
