How to do it

Keep your feet planted and pivot only from your hands.

  1. 1

    Begin in a standard push-up position.

  2. 2

    Perform a push-up, then walk your hands to the right like the hands of a clock to a new position.

  3. 3

    Perform another push-up in this new position.

  4. 4

    Continue moving in a circular pattern, performing a push-up at each 'hour' on the clock.

  5. 5

    After completing the circle, you can reverse the direction.

Expert tip

Maintain a strong core throughout the exercise to prevent your hips from sagging or piking up, which can compromise form and effectiveness.
