Push-up ► push up

Partner work

Both participants in a push-up position with their heads facing each other and approximately one arm's length apart. Bend and stretch your arms (lower and raise your upper body), whenever the upper body is raised, the participants reach a hand across the back. Switch sides/hands after each repetition.

Attention:
Actively tense your core (do not let your hips sag). The elbow position is not at shoulder height but slightly closer to the upper body ("A" shape with the arms). Shoulders are fixed and pressed down towards the hips.

Lighten:
Place your knees on the floor (feet held high); lower your upper body less (arms barely bent).

Harden:
Additional weight (on the back); raised base for the legs.

Per participant:
1 weight vest/weight disc/sandbag ► making the exercise more difficult (additional weight)
1 raised base ► making the exercise more difficult (position)
