Strengthen Chest and Core with T Push Ups

T Push Ups

Rep Range

6-10

Hints

Begin in a standard push-up position. As you push back up from the ground, rotate your body to one side, extending the corresponding arm straight up into the air, forming a 'T' with your arms. Return to the starting position and then rotate to the opposite side on the next rep.

Common Mistakes

Ensure you maintain a tight core throughout to avoid sagging hips. Don't rush the rotation; ensure it's controlled and stable.

Breathing

Inhale as you lower for the push-up; exhale as you push up and rotate. Alternate sides with each rep.
