Rotation Push Up

Chest, core strengthening
Rotation Push Up gif

About

It is a workout that can strengthen both chest and core muscles at the same time. Also, it is a full-body workout that can improve rotation and lateral movement that you don't usually use!

How to Rotation Push Up

Starting Position

1. Please lie down with your arms slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.

2. Engage your core to keep your body in a straight line.

Proper Form

1. Please lower yourself until your chest is just about to touch the floor.

2. At this time, your forearms should be perpendicular to the floor.

3. As you rise, lift one arm towards the ceiling.

4. Then, lower yourself back down while placing the other arm on the ground.

5. Slowly return to the starting position.

6. Please repeat the same with the opposite arm.

Breathing Technique

Inhale when bending your arms, and exhale when pushing your arms.

Precautions

1. Please go down only as much as you can without straining your shoulders.

2. Keep your core engaged to prevent your hips from dropping.
