Pike Push-Up

Description

Pike Pushups are a great exercise to strengthen your chest, shoulders, arms and core. Here are the steps to perform them correctly:

  1. Start in a plank position with your hands slightly wider than your shoulders and your feet close together.
  2. Lift your hips up and back until your body forms an inverted V shape. Your head should be between your arms and your legs should be straight or slightly bent.
  3. Bend your elbows and lower your head towards the floor, keeping your back flat and your core engaged.
  4. Push yourself back up to the starting position and repeat for the desired number of reps.
