Clap Push-Up

Target Area: Upper Body 

Equipment: Not required

  1. Start in a standard push-up position on your knees or toes with your hands slightly wider than shoulder width apart and elbows completely locked out.
  2. Keep your core tight and lower yourself towards the ground. Make sure to keep your elbows tucked in close by your sides so they make a 45-degree angle with your torso. 
  3. Once your chest touches the ground, push back up explosively and rapidly clap the hands together before placing them back in the original position before your body falls back to the ground.
