Push-up with rotation
Intensity Level
How To
Push-up and rotation is a calisthenics exercise that primarily targets the abs and to a lesser degree also targets the chest, glutes, obliques, shoulders and triceps.
- Start in a high plank position. Lower your body toward the floor, then press back up to perform a push-up.
- Shift your weight to your left arm and rotate your body by lifting your right arm pointing it at the ceiling. This should cause you to be in the position of a side plank.
- Return your right hand to the mat, then perform a push-up followed by a twist and a side plank on the other side.
Tips
Tip 1
Use slow and controlled movement to maximize the benefits of a rotating pushup. When you lift your arm to form the "T" shape, avoid pointing your elbow outward or you’ll put too much stress on your shoulder joint.
