Pike Push-Ups
How to do it
- Start in a push-up position, then walk your feet in and lift your hips until your body makes an upside-down V.
- Your head should point at the floor between your hands.
- Bend your elbows and lower the top of your head toward the floor.
- Press back up until your arms are straight.
- The higher your hips, the more it becomes a shoulder press. Walk your feet in to make it harder.
