Close grip Push-ups

Breathe in, breathe out, and get ready for close grip push-ups. Start. Slightly different to the normal push-ups, in this one, we keep our hands closer, shoulder-width apart. Rest range of motion remains the same. Apart from the chest, it will put a significant effect on your triceps and shoulders. If this movement is hard for you, go ahead with the beginner movement. Just go at your own pace. Almost done. Good job. Take rest.

Sumo Squats

All right, our next movement is sumo squats. Start. Take a wide stance, toes pointed out. As you lower down to squat, see that your chest stays up. Don’t fall forward. Do it slowly, knees pointing out, and you will feel the outer edges of your hips firing up. Keep your hands wherever comfortable. Yes, you are doing it right. And done. Awesome. 10 seconds rest.

Pike Push-ups

Our next movement is pike push-ups. Let’s do it. Hips raised high, palms under the shoulders, lower the head close to the floor, elbows bending backward. Notice that your knees will remain extended always. The pike push-up builds shoulder strength and improves core stability.
