Equipment
The rotating push-up adds a twist to the classic push-up by incorporating a torso rotation. This variation enhances core stability and strength, while also engaging the upper body muscles, providing a more comprehensive workout.
How to do it
- Start in a standard push-up position with hands shoulder-width apart.
- Lower your body towards the ground, keeping your elbows close to your sides.
- As you push back up, rotate your torso to one side, extending the top arm towards the ceiling.
- Return to the starting position and repeat the rotation on the opposite side.
