INSTRUCTIONS

• Place hands on a flat bench or other elevated platform, slightly wider than shoulder-width.
• Draw in the abdomen and contract the glutes to maintain the body in a straight line.
• Perform a push-up as normal, lowering your body within your range of control.
• At the top of the motion rotate the body and reach the arm toward the ceiling.
• Allow the feet to rotate naturally while maintaining stability.
• Return to high plank position and perform for desired number of repetitions.
• Keep the body stable.
