2. Jack Lalanne Fingertip Push-Up

Sometimes referred to as simply “Lalanne push-ups,” this routine requires the individual to be in a horizontal position with foot extended upwards, toes being the only part of the foot on the ground again.

The person will then reach their arms above their head and keep only their fingertips in contact with the ground. The arm extension is not as long as the traditional push up and only goes as far as it takes the person to extend their foot as if they were standing on their toes.

3. Burpee

This full-body push up adds jumping and squatting to the normal routine.

First, you kneel down and touch your hands to the ground.

You then extend your legs back behind you, putting your weight on your hands.

This will place you in push-up position. Once there, do the push-up and quickly pull your legs under you so you land in the squatted position you had previously been in. From there, extend your body upward and reach your hands above your head into a jump.
