Instructions

Setup

Place a yoga block or a small elevated surface on the floor. Start in a kneeling push-up position, placing one hand on the floor and the other hand firmly on top of the block.

Movement

  1. Push-Up Phase: Lower your chest toward the floor by bending your elbows, keeping your core braced and your body in a straight line from your head to your knees.

  2. Ascent: Push through both arms to return to the starting position.

  3. Rotation Phase: Once your arms are extended, lift the hand that was on the floor and rotate your entire upper body toward the ceiling, extending that arm vertically, while balancing on the hand placed on the block.

  4. Return: Lower your hand back to the floor, return to the push-up position, and repeat for the desired number of reps on that side before switching.
