Corkscrew Push Up

How To Do A Corkscrew Push Up Correctly

The Corkscrew Push Up is a challenging push up variation that not only targets the chest, triceps, and shoulders, but it also pulls in the muscles in quadriceps, calves, and core.

To get started:

1. Get into a traditional push up position with your hands just below your shoulders.
2. Walk your feet in, raising your hips slightly, and bending your knees at a 90 degree angle.
3. This is the starting position.
4. Rotate your body towards one shoulder as you bend your elbows, twist your knees, and lower your body towards the ground.
5. Pause, then rise back up slightly without fully extending your arms, and repeat the movement to the opposite side.
6. Extend your arms by pushing back up to the starting position.
7. That’s considered one rep.
8. Repeat.
