Push Up with Rotation |
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. If you can perform push ups satisfactorily then it's time to progress and this is an ideal exercise to move on to. It does challenge your balance and coordination, so it might take a little practice to become proficient at them.

|
Bend at the elbows to lower the body towards the floor.

Pause briefly & push back to the start position by extending the elbows.
|
At the point that the arms are fully extended, rotate your trunk to one side
|
As you do so, raise the arm on the same side outwards and upwards
|
The top point is when your whole body is side on and you are balancing your weight on the opposite arm
|
Return to the start position and repeat for the opposite side
