Suspension Push Up

Performing your push ups from gymnastics rings or a suspension trainer reduces stability and increases the difficulty of this move. Easily scalable from easy to hard simply by changing the angle of your body. Securely anchor your suspension trainer / rings overhead and adjust the length of the straps accordingly. Grip onto the handles and adopt your starting position. The more vertical you are the easier the exercise. Squeeze your glutes and brace your midsection. Slowly lower yourself down towards your hands. Pause then smoothly push back to the starting position. Keep your elbows tucked in during the movement (45 degrees or tighter) Make sure your whole body moves as one single straight line. Don’t let your hips drop quicker than your shoulders or vice versa. At the top of the exercise you can add an extra layer of difficulty by tapping the two handles together!
