Plyometric Pushups, Lateral

Type: Chest

This version of the plyometric pushup will improve power and reflex by utilising explosive movements to the sides. The Lateral Plyometric Pushup is quite a challenging exercise and requires a certain level of fitness. Although in this version it's only the upper body that leaves the ground and not the feet.

Level :

Advanced

Equipment : No

	Chest
	Core Triceps

Plyometric Pushups, Lateral Steps:

Step 1:

Adopt the normal pushup position. Hands should be shoulder width apart.

Step 2:

Drop towards the floor by bending at the elbows.

Step 3:

When the chest is approximately 2 inches from the floor explode upwards but place more emphasis on one side.

Step 4:

As you push off from the ground your whole body should go towards the side you favoured.

Step 5:

Land on both hands, then repeat for the opposite side so you finish back in the center.

Step 6:

All this time your feet remain on the ground.

Step 7:

Then repeat for the opposite side.

Step 8:

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.
