How to do it
Keep your feet wider than hip-width to stabilize the rotation.
- 1
Start in a standard push-up position with your hands slightly wider than 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 body to the right, extending your right arm towards the ceiling.
- 4
Return to the starting push-up position and repeat the movement, this time rotating to the left.
- 5
Alternate sides with each repetition.
Expert tip
Keep your core tight throughout the movement to stabilize your body and prevent your hips from sagging or piking up.
Common mistakes
- ✕Letting the rotating arm bend at the elbow
- ✕Flaring the elbows out wide on the descent
