The VERY EFFECTIVE 'PIKE PUSH UP'

-

 

A pike push-up is an exercise that targets the shoulders, triceps, and core muscles. To perform a proper pike push-up, follow these steps:

1. Begin in a downward dog position, with your hands on the ground slightly wider than shoulder-width apart and your feet hip-width apart.

2. Walk your feet forward a few steps, so that your hips are lifted high into the air, and your body forms an inverted "V" shape.

3. Engage your core muscles to keep your body stable as you bend your elbows and lower your head towards the ground. Keep your elbows close to your body throughout the movement.

4. Push through your palms to extend your arms and lift your head back up towards the starting position.

5. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

Some tips to keep in mind when performing pike push-ups include keeping your head aligned with your spine, keeping your shoulder blades down and back, and focusing on maintaining proper form throughout the movement. It's also important to start with a comfortable range of motion and gradually work up to a deeper bend in the elbows as you become stronger.
