Combine Strength and Flexibility with Circle Reverse Push Ups

Circle Reverse Push Ups

Rep Range

8-20

Hints

Begin in a push-up position with hands slightly wider than shoulders. As you lower, shift body weight in a circular motion, first to the right and then the left, forming a semi-circle. Press back up. On the next rep, reverse the direction.

Common Mistakes

Keep a tight core to prevent sagging hips or elevated buttocks. Ensure movements are controlled and smooth, avoiding abrupt shifts.

Breathing

Inhale as you lower and circle; exhale when pressing up. Alternate directions each rep.
