Welcome to Wolfe’s Fitness Tip of the Week. This week I bring the Stability Ball Pushup.

Try this one out at home before bringing in a ball to your workplace and end up breaking something or even worse, someone. Make sure you have enough space to maneuver when you try it out, so that you're not knocking into walls or people ; ) Remember, when you get your legs up on the ball, knees should not touch ball. When you hold your plank, clench the glutes tight and tuck your tail bone inward towards the front of your body. Keep your hips elevated instead of bowed (No 'U'-shaped pushups). Swing the elbows close to the body as you descend into the down position. Try EXHALING into the descent. Big push on your ascent, INHALING to where your elbows are locked out straight at the top of the motion. If it is too challenging to keep your elbows close to torso on the descent, then allow your elbows to bend outwardly, away from the head. Keep your whole body engaged throughout the entire motion and get ridiculously fired up in no time. Repeat for 4-6 sets to really work the chest, shoulders, triceps, forearms and wrists. Repeat with knee tucks integrated with the pushups and watch your core strength skyrocket. Be mindful: though this exercise can be performed by just about anyone, I recommend light stretching before any physical exercise and/or consulting your doctor before attempting any physical fitness activity.

Train your whole being, not just your muscles.

Since childhood, David Wolfe was engaged with various sports such as baseball, basketball, football, hockey, soccer, tennis, volleyball and track and field. Competitors were most of the time taller or bigger compared to his small body frame, so the David and Goliath storyline was a consistent theme he revisited in sports.

In high school, he wrestled and attended Dan Gable’s Wrestling Camp in Iowa. There he learned how the body could be conditioned with great strength and agility by tapping into the mental capacities of the mind. After getting certified in fitness and nutrition and graduating from SUNY New Paltz with a B.A. and Masters in Professional Studies in Humanistic/Multicultural Education, David saw the need to pass along to others what he has learned about the mind-body relationship. For over fifteen years he has helped a diverse population of individuals and groups work towards optimal health at a number of different fitness facilities and has designed unique boot camp classes as well as tailored one-on-one fitness and wellness programs.

Now 35 years old, with extensive knowledge of training styles and approaches in his training tool belt, David hopes to continue helping all people achieve optimal health in a meaningful way.
