Push-up with Twist

Expert Advice

Maintain a strong plank position throughout the push-up to engage your core and prevent your hips from sagging.

Start in a standard push-up position with your hands shoulder-width apart.
Lower your body to the ground, keeping your elbows close to your sides.
As you push back up, rotate your body and extend one arm towards the ceiling, opening up your chest.
Return to the starting push-up position and repeat on the other side.
Alternate the twist with each push-up repetition.
