Chest, core, side
Spiderman Push Up gif

About

It is a workout that can target not only chest muscles but also core muscles. Tighten your abs so that your hip doesn't go down when you lift your legs!

How to Spiderman 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 lower yourself, lift one foot off the ground and bend your knee.

4. Return your foot to its original position as you come back up.

5. Please repeat the same with the opposite leg.

Breathing Technique

Inhale while bending your arms, and exhale while 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.
