Push Up, Twisting

Type: Chest
The push up with rotation adds another element to the standard push up which makes it much more challenging. It's not necessarily that difficult but it will challenge balance & coordination in addition to working the chest, arms and core abdominal muscles. Below you'll find a video guide & step by step instructions for the twisting push up.
Level :  Equipment : No
Chest
Core
Triceps

Push Up, Twisting Steps:

Step 1:
Adopt the standard push up position

Step 2:
Pull in the abdominals tight and keep the pelvis straight

Step 3:
Maintain a straight back throughout the exercise

Step 4:
Bend at the elbows to lower the body towards the floor.

Step 5:
Pause briefly & push back to the start position by extending the elbows.

Step 6:
At the point the arms are fully extended, rotate the trunk to one side

Step 7:
As you do so, raise the arm on the same side outwards and upwards

Step 8:
The whole body should be side on with weight supported on the opposite arm

Step 9:
Return to the start position and repeat for the opposite side

Top Tip:
