Push-Up & Rotation

Muscles worked: Chest, Abs & Core · Also: Shoulders, Triceps, Legs

Push-Up & Rotation combines a push-up with a side plank rotation: after each press-up, you rotate your body to one side, reaching the top arm toward the ceiling, then return and repeat on the other side.

Do the push-up first with a solid plank, then rotate from your core rather than just swinging your arm. Keep the rotation controlled and your hips stacked, and alternate sides each rep.

How to do it

1. Start in a plank and do a push-up with a solid plank shape.
2. After the press-up, rotate your body to one side into a side plank, reaching the top arm toward the ceiling.
3. Keep the rotation controlled and your hips stacked, rotating from your core rather than just swinging your arm.
4. Return to the plank and repeat, rotating to the other side.
5. Alternate sides each rep.
