The Perfect Pushup vs Exercise Ball Push Up

OK – At the beginning of this year I was at a New Year’s Day party at my sister’s house and we were talking and it turned out she had purchased the Perfect Push up. This was invented by a navy seal and I had heard about it but never tried it. She bought it for her husband and he never used it so I asked if I could borrow it. I’ll tell you my thoughts on this compared to the exercise ball in a moment.

Oh man. The first time I used it I was impressed. I’ve been exercising with it for 3 weeks now and am still impressed.

Listen, push ups have long been a stable of many workout programs. The way you turn the handles and bring more muscle into play here impressed me. I can feel it.

I get nothing from them to tell you about this but I have been asked about this by some readers so . . . my thoughts are this is a really good exercise device. If you can’t do a regular push up, do one using your knees. You still get a nice workout.

As far as comparing this to doing a push up on the exercise ball —- it might depend on the individual but I’m still leaning toward the exercise ball. I think it brings the core muscles into play more. But yes – I plan to get a set of these. I will use them to confuse the muscles and keep them working hard plus – these will travel with me when I go on a vacation.
