Pike Push-Up Between Chairs
How to Do:
- Set up three chairs: one for each arm and one for your legs. Place your hands on the seats of two chairs, shoulder-width apart, and your feet on the third chair.
- Begin in a pike position, with your hips raised, legs straight, and body forming an inverted V-shape.
- Lower your head toward the ground by bending your elbows, keeping your core tight and neck neutral.
- Push through your palms to return to the starting position, straightening your arms.
- Repeat for the desired number of reps.
Benefits:
This variation of the pike push-up targets the deltoids, triceps, and upper chest, mimicking the overhead press movement. Using three chairs increases the range of motion, making it more effective for building shoulder strength. It also engages the core for stability and balance, helping to improve overall upper body strength and shoulder mobility. This exercise can be a progression toward more advanced moves like handstand push-ups.
