How To Do A Side To Side Push Up Correctly
The alternating Side To Side Push Up is a more advanced version of the traditional push up, that targets the chest, triceps, and core.
The side to side movement creates more core activation.
To get started:
- Get into a traditional push up position, with your hands shoulder width apart, and directly underneath your shoulders.
- Your body should form a straight line from your heels to the top of your head.
- Complete the push up by bending your elbows to lower your body to the ground, then press your hands through the ground to return to the starting position.
- While staying in the push up position, move one hand beside the other hand, then move the other hand away, so your hands are once again shoulder width apart.
- Complete another push up, then move the opposite hand to the other side, followed by the other hand, then do another push up.
- Repeat this for reps.
