Plyometric Pushups, Lateral Steps:
Adopt the normal pushup position. Hands should be shoulder width apart.
|
Drop towards the floor by bending at the elbows.
|
When the chest is approximately 2 inches from the floor explode upwards but place more emphasis on one side.
|
As you push off from the ground your whole body should go towards the side you favoured.
|
Land on both hands, then repeat for the opposite side so you finish back in the center.
|
All this time your feet remain on the ground.
|
Then repeat for the opposite side.
|
For example, center, left, centre, right is one repetition.
|
Top Tip:For even more of a challenge place a medicine ball in the midline of the body at shoulder height. Pushup off the medicine ball and land to the side then explode back on to it again.
