CLAP PUSH-UP


Tip

Be sure to land with soft elbows after the clap

As always, a lot of core control is crucial to performing this push-up variation correctly

Don’t be afraid to start out on your knees or on an incline to get the hang of the timing

 STAGGER PLYO PUSH-UP


Tip

Switch the position of your hands after every push-up

If this movement is too explosive or challenging for you

Simply switch your hands without the “jump” until you’re able to work your way up

 X-TAP PUSH-UP


Tip

Keep in mind you really have to get some air in this push-up variation

Let’s say this is the next step after the clap push-up

 DOUBLE KNEE TAP PUSH-UP


Tip

Don’t forget to engage your lower abs and lift your butt up while pulling your knees in

CLAP BEHIND PUSH-UP


Tip

This variation does require some shoulder mobility and flexibility

Be sure to really warm-up your shoulders before trying this out

A good warm-up exercise would be plank to down dog

 SUPERMAN PUSH-UP


Tip

Try to get your biceps by your ears when reaching your arms out

And don’t forget to bring your hands back down or…you know what will happen

 ARCHER PUSH-UP


Tip

Place your arms wider than shoulder width when performing this push-up variation

Notice that only one arm is bending during the exercise

The other arm should have a slight bend in the elbow but be fairly straight

 ONE-ARM PUSH-UP


Tip

Notice that the feet are placed very wide
This really helps with stabilisation of the whole body
