Description: Pike push ups

The pike push up is a great exercise for building shoulder strength and improving core stability. This exercise works your shoulders, arms, chest, back, and core, and helps to tone and strengthen your entire upper body.

Here’s how to do the perfect pike push-up, step by step!

Start in a plank position on the floor, with hands firmly on the floor, right under your shoulders. Press toes firmly into the floor too.
Keep core tight and back flat and engage your glutes and hamstrings. Your whole body should be neutral and in a straight line.
Lift hips up and back until your body forms an inverted V shape. Keep arms and legs as straight as possible.
Start to bend elbows, and then lower your entire upper body toward the floor.
Stay there for a moment, then slowly push back up until your arms are straight and you’re in the inverted V position. Make sure you maintain control throughout the movement.
