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

  1. Start in a standard push-up position with hands shoulder-width apart.
  2. Lower your body towards the ground, keeping your elbows close to your sides.
  3. As you push back up, rotate your torso to one side, extending the top arm towards the ceiling.
  4. Return to the starting position and repeat the rotation on the opposite side.
