How to Do:
Starting Position
Get into a standard push-up position with your hands shoulder-width apart, body forming a straight line from head to heels, and feet slightly wider than shoulder-width for balance.
Lower Your Body

Push Back Up
Press through your palms to return to the starting position.
Tap Your Shoulder
Once at the top, lift your right hand and tap your left shoulder while maintaining a stable core and avoiding excessive body rotation. Return your right hand to the floor.
Alternate Sides
Lift your left hand and tap your right shoulder, then place it back down. This completes one repetition.
Repeat
Continue for the desired number of reps, alternating shoulder taps after each push-up.
Benefits:
The shoulder tap push-up enhances upper body strength, improves core stability, and promotes balance and coordination by engaging the chest, shoulders, triceps, and obliques. It’s an excellent exercise for overall functional fitness.
