Pike Push-Up

How to do it

  1. Start in a push-up position, then walk your feet toward your hands until your hips are piked high and your body forms an inverted V.
  2. Set your hands slightly wider than shoulder-width, fingers spread, and keep your hips high throughout.
  3. Bend your elbows to about 45 degrees from your torso and lower your head toward the floor between your hands.
  4. Descend until your head nearly touches the floor, without letting your hips drop or your elbows flare straight out.
  5. Press back up by extending your elbows, driving through your hands until your arms are straight and your hips stay piked.
  6. Keep your head in a neutral position, looking toward your feet rather than forward, for the whole rep.
