Push Up With a Twist
*Check with Your Physician Before Beginning Any Exercise Program!

 

How to Do It

In push up position (either on your toes or on your knees) slowly lower into a push up.  As you come up, slowly twist your body to the right, sweeping your right hand out and up, then repeat with the left hand.  Throughout the movement, keep your abdominals tight, with your belly button pulled in towards your spine.  Don't hold your breath and keep your hips and torso aligned the entire time.
