How to do Climber Push Ups
Assume a push-up stance. One hand is positioned slightly forward, wider than shoulder-width, while the other hand is farther back, fingers pointing outward. Perform two push-ups in this offset stance, then switch hand positions and repeat.
Common mistakes
Avoid letting your hips sag or raise too high. Maintain a solid core throughout to ensure a straight body line.
Breathing
Inhale as you lower for the push-up, exhale as you press back up. Switch hand positions after two breath cycles.
