One Leg Push-Up
How to Do:
- Setup and Positioning
Start in a regular push-up position with your hands placed slightly wider than shoulder-width apart. Your body should form a straight line from your head to your heels, keeping your core engaged.
- Lift One Leg
Raise one leg off the ground and hold it in the air, keeping it straight. Ensure that your hips remain level and your core stays tight to avoid sagging in your lower back.
- Lower Your Body
Slowly lower your body towards the floor by bending your elbows, keeping the raised leg straight and your body in a straight line. Maintain control and avoid rotating your torso.
- Push Back Up
Once your chest is near the ground, press through your palms and push back up to the starting position. Focus on keeping your body stable while maintaining the position of your raised leg.
- Repeat
Complete the desired number of reps with one leg raised, then switch to the other leg and repeat.
Benefits:
The One Leg Push-Up targets the chest, triceps, and shoulders while also engaging the core, glutes, and quads. By lifting one leg, you increase the difficulty of the standard push-up, enhancing stability and balance.
