The Single Arm Push-Up is a challenging variation of the traditional push-up exercise that targets the chest, shoulders, triceps, and core muscles.
How to perform
To perform a Single Arm Push-Up, follow these steps:1. Begin in a plank position with your hands shoulder-width apart and your body in a straight line from head to heels.
2. Shift your weight onto your left hand and tuck your right arm behind your back.
3. Lower your body toward the ground by bending your left elbow, keeping it close to your body.
4. Push yourself back up to the starting position, straightening your left arm.
5. Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions on your left side before switching to your right side.
For beginners, you can modify the exercise by performing it on an elevated surface, such as a bench or step, to reduce the amount of body weight being lifted. As you become stronger, you can progress to performing the exercise on the floor with your hand elevated on a block or book for an added challenge.
