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.

|
At the point the arms are fully extended, rotate the trunk to one side
|
As you do so, raise the arm on the same side outwards and upwards
