Pike push-up

Proper Position

• Start in a plank position, with your hands shoulder-width apart and your feet spaced comfortably.
• Walk your feet forward and lift your hips upward, forming an inverted "V" shape with your body.
• Keep your legs straight or slightly bent, and align your arms with your ears.
• Look down toward the floor, keeping your head in line with your spine.

Movement

• Slowly bend your elbows to lower your head toward the ground between your hands.
• Focus on engaging your shoulders and triceps during the descent.
• Push back up by extending your arms to return to the starting position.
• Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

Breathing

• Inhale as you lower your head toward the ground.
• Exhale as you push back up to the starting position.

Tips

• Maintain a stable posture and avoid arching your lower back.
• If the exercise is too challenging, reduce the range of motion or drop your knees to the floor to decrease intensity.
• Focus on slow, controlled movements to avoid jerky motions.
• Slightly widen your hands if you feel excessive strain on your wrists or shoulders.
