These Uneven Push Ups with Plyo will work your pectorals, deltoids, triceps, scapular stabilizers, and core. This is an intermediate exercise and should be performed on a stable platform prior to using StrongBoard Balance board. This exercise is primarily for the chest, shoulders, and the scapulothoracic region but will also strengthen the entire core musculature.

Steps
1. Begin in Position 4, laterally positioned next to the board. Place one hand over the StrongBoard Balance® logo while the other is placed on the ground. Extend the legs behind you, balancing on the toes.

Extending the elbows, press away from the ground and platform to the starting position and repeat the movement for the desired repetitions or duration.
Repeat the movement on the other side.

6. Repeat the movement for the desired repetitions or duration.
Tips
When performing uneven push-ups and the plyo push-ups, keep weight evenly distributed while focusing on pec minor stretch on the platform side. Absorb landing during the plyo push-ups by keeping abdominals braced.
