Sliding Push-up

General And Specifics

• you need a ground you can slide on well so that you can do this chest exercise easily (it also works on the floor with paper plates below the hands)
• make sure you warmed yourself up before you starting doing this fitness exercise, because it is very intensive for your core and chest

Starting Position

• place two folded towels (or two washclothes or Valslides) shoulder width on the ground
• knee in front of it and put the hands on the towels, you are on all fours now
• go over into the push-up position
• your hands are directly below your shoulders
• lift the knees and bring the body in a line
• the hands and tiptoes support your weight then

Correct Execution

• brace the body completely
• the hands on the towels slide outwards
• do a full push-up
• avoid a hollow-back
• slide back into the starting position by bringing the hands back together
• repeat
