Pike Push Up
Instructions
- Start in a high plank position, with your hands on the ground aligned with your shoulders and your arms extended.
- Feet are shoulder-width apart and hands as well, with heels slightly off the ground.
- From there, lift the hips up, forming an inverted "V" with the body.
- Slowly bend your elbows, bringing the top of your head towards the ground, between your hands, and try to get close to the floor.
- Push the floor firmly with your hands, extending your elbows and returning to the inverted "V" position.
Tips
- Keep the hip high throughout the movement.
- Avoid excessively flexing your neck.
- Move within the range your joints allow.
