3. Push Back Up As you push yourself back up to the starting position, rotate your torso and raise one arm toward the sky. Keep your feet slightly wider apart for stability.
4. Hold the Rotation At the top of the rotation, hold your arm extended towards the sky for a brief moment while engaging your core and chest muscles.

Benefits:

The Push-Up with Rotation is a great full-body exercise that engages the chest, shoulders, triceps, and core. The added rotation challenges the obliques and increases shoulder mobility. This variation not only strengthens the upper body but also improves balance and stability. It's an effective movement for building functional strength and coordination.
