push-up variations worth trying

4. Clapping Push-Up

Similar to the format of a traditional push-up, you will simply add a clap once you reach full extension of your arms. As soon as you clap, you should put your arms back to the extended position they were in and finish the push-up regularly.

5. Hindu Push-Up

For this push-up, you must begin with your feet almost flat on the ground. Then you place your hands on the ground as if to do a traditional push-up; however, you extend your arms and put your mid-section straight in the air – this should make your body look like an upside-down “V.”

Once at this starting position, dip your head down to where it just barely touches the ground and carry it through until you extend fully with your face looking upwards.

6. One-Arm Push-Up

This push-up is fairly similar to the traditional push-up; however, it is a more concentrated strength-training routine. You get into regular push-up position and then place one arm behind your back. Continue the push-up as normal.

7. Spiderman Push-Up

This push-up requires you to begin in traditional push-up position. The change comes in when you push down. Here, you must lift one leg out of extension and pull it up to your side with knee bent and leg turned out as if you were climbing a wall.

When you push back up, you bring your leg back into normal position with your opposite leg. But don’t try climbing any walls in this position, no matter how many times you successfully complete the push-up.
