The Body-Up exercise is a full-body workout that targets multiple muscle groups, including the core, arms, back, and legs. This exercise helps improve strength, balance, and coordination.
How to perform
Instructions for the Body-Up exercise:1. Start by standing with your feet shoulder-width apart and your arms extended straight out in front of you at shoulder height.
2. Slowly bend your knees and lower your body into a squat position, keeping your back straight and your chest lifted.
3. As you squat down, bring your arms down to your sides and place your hands on the ground in front of you.
4. Once your hands are on the ground, shift your weight onto your hands and kick your feet back, coming into a plank position.
5. Lower your body down into a push-up, keeping your core engaged and your back straight.
6. Push back up into the plank position, then jump your feet back up towards your hands.
7. From here, explode upward, bringing your hands off the ground and jumping as high as you can, reaching your arms up towards the ceiling.
8. Land softly back on your feet and immediately go back into the squat position to start the next rep.
Repeat this sequence for the desired number of repetitions to complete the Body-Up exercise. Remember to focus on keeping good form throughout the movement and engaging your core muscles for stability.
