Push Up - One Foot

Here you take the standard push-up and raise one foot off the ground. You will have 3 stable points on the ground (2 hands/1 foot). This takes an incredible amount of core strength to maintain position.

  • Start with hands slightly in front of and wider than shoulders.
  • Back should be flat with shoulders and hips in line.
  • Raise one foot off the floor in line with hips.
  • Draw in belly button towards spine.
  • Lower chest and hips together towards floor.
  • Keep leg that is off floor straight.
  • Elbows should be in line with upper back.
  • Head should stay in neutral position.
  • Important to lead with both the chest and hips to avoid a sway back.
  • Do desired number of reps, then switch legs.
