The Clock Push-Up exercise is a variation of the traditional push-up that targets the chest, shoulders, and triceps while also challenging the core muscles. This exercise involves performing push-ups in a circular motion, mimicking the movement of the hands on a clock.
How to perform
Instructions:1. Start in a high plank position with your hands shoulder-width apart and your body in a straight line from head to heels.
2. Lower yourself down into a push-up, keeping your elbows close to your body and chest touching the floor.
3. As you push back up, rotate your body to the left and extend your right arm straight up towards the ceiling.
4. Return to the starting position and perform another push-up.
5. This time, rotate your body to the right and extend your left arm up towards the ceiling.
6. Continue alternating sides with each push-up, rotating your body in a circular motion like the hands on a clock.
7. Aim to perform 10-12 repetitions on each side, focusing on maintaining proper form and engaging your core throughout the exercise.
