Push Up, One Leg Steps:
Get yourself into the standard pushup position.
|
Raise one leg off the floor so you are supported by only your hands and the other leg.
|
Pull in the abdominals tight and keep the pelvis straight.
|
Maintain a straight back throughout the exercise.
|
Bend at the elbows to lower the body towards the floor until the upper arms are parallel to the floor.
|
Chest should be around 2-3 inches off the floor.
|
Pause briefly then push back to the start position by extending the elbows.
|
Top Tip:Bringing the hands closer together will also make the core work harder & focus more on the triceps.
