Hindu Push-ups
How to Do:
- Starting Position: Begin in a downward dog pose with your hands shoulder-width apart and feet hip-width apart. Your body should form an inverted V, with your hips pushed high.
- Descent (Dive Bomber Phase): Shift your weight forward, bending your elbows to lower your chest toward the ground. Keep your hips low as your chest moves close to the floor, transitioning into an upward-facing dog position with an arched back. Look forward and up as you extend.
- Ascent: Push your hips back and upward, returning to the downward dog position by reversing the movement. Bend your elbows as needed, keeping the flow controlled.
- Repeat: Perform the movement fluidly, transitioning between the downward dog, dive bomber, and upward-facing dog for the desired number of reps.
Benefits:
Hindu push-ups build upper body strength, particularly targeting the shoulders, chest, and triceps. They enhance flexibility in the spine, shoulders, and hips while improving overall mobility. This dynamic movement also engages the core, promoting better posture and stability.
