Pushups, One Leg

Type: Chest
Performing the standard pushup with one leg raised makes this exercise more intense. It increases the focus on the core making it work harder to maintain balance.
Level :  Equipment : No
Chest
Core
Triceps

Pushups, One Leg Steps:

Step 1:
Get yourself into the standard pushup position.

Step 2:
Raise one leg off the floor so you are supported by only your hands and the other leg.

Step 3:
Pull in the abdominals tight and keep the pelvis straight.

Step 4:
Maintain a straight back throughout the exercise.

Step 5:
Bend at the elbows to lower the body towards the floor until the upper arms are parallel to the floor.

Step 6:
Chest should be around 2-3 inches off the floor.

Step 7:
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.
