    Modified Hindu Pushup

    The modified Hindu pushup is a bodyweight exercise that targets the pectorals while also engaging the tricep, shoulders, and core. It involves a dynamic movement pattern that combines elements of a pushup with a downward dog-like position, challenging both strength and mobility.

      Lower your body towards the ground, bending your elbows and keeping your core engaged.

    3. 3

      As you lower your body, shift your weight back and lift your hips up towards the ceiling, creating an inverted V shape with your body.

      Continue to lower your body until your chest is just above the ground, then reverse the movement, pushing your hips back down and extending your arms to return to the starting position.
