Plank push ups
The push up combined with the bird dog plank is a great core strengthening exercise! By alternating Push ups with the Bird challenges your entire body and improve Stabilizer Strength and Core Abilities and the exercise requires little room and no equipment! What I really like about this exercise is it requires a full push-up and actives all the central Stabilizers and Abdominal CORE Muscles! Great push-up variation for Pecs, Deltoids, Triceps and Core Muscles!
Works Abdominal Stabilizers and Pectorals, Deltoids as well as your Back!
• Begin in a high plank and do a push-up
• Inhale as you lower your body, exhale on return
• Raise up until arms are straight
• Alternate arm raise after each push-up
• Legs parallel and body like a plank
• Do as many as you can without feeling pain
• Rest 1 - 3 minutes between exercise
• Stretch the triceps, shoulders and chest
• Try and do 2 -- 3 sets
• Prioritize Quality over number of reps
Targets:
• Triceps
• Deltoids
• Pectorals
• Core ABS
• Back
• Cardio
Good luck with your health goals and exercises and thank you for watching!
