Chest Tap Push-Up

How to Do:

1. Starting Position Begin in a standard push-up position with your hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart, your body in a straight line from head to heels, and your feet together. Engage your core to maintain a solid plank position.
2. Lower Your Body Slowly bend your elbows and lower your chest toward the ground while keeping your body straight. Inhale as you descend.
3. Tap Your Chest As you push back up, once your chest is about to return to the starting position, lift one hand off the floor and tap your chest with that hand.
4. Alternate Hands Lower your body again and repeat the push-up motion, this time tapping the opposite hand to your chest as you push back up.
5. Repetitions Continue alternating taps with each repetition, maintaining control of your body and form throughout the set.

Benefits:

Chest Tap Push-Ups enhance the core stability and shoulder strength while also targeting the chest, arms, and triceps. This variation adds an element of coordination and balance, making it a great challenge for upper body strength and functional movement. It also improves focus and control during the push-up movement.
