The simple press-up

Recommended Posts

I'm a big fan of normal pushups but on fists instead of palms, but with one variation.

When you lower yourself to the ground remain about two inches off the ground for a minute then push back up.

Its a great exercise to strengthen your core muscles, after two weeks of this I was able to take a fairly hard mae geri to the midsection without flinching :)

I've also started doing hindu pushups, very hard workout.

Bushido, thanks for the link to the link. There's some very interesting stuff in the other thread. I've never seen / heard of the spiderman exercises, but I like them! I wasn't quite as inspired by the Hindu push-ups.

Another push-up variation that really fatigues the muscle is the 1-minute push-up. Start in the down position and SLOWLY push up for 30 seconds. Then come back down for 30 seconds. The one minute pull-up is awesome too. If definitely left my arms shaking!
