    Pike to Cobra Pushup

    The pike to cobra pushup is a dynamic bodyweight exercise that combines elements of a pushup, pike, and cobra pose. It targets the glutes primarily, while also engaging the core, shoulders, and tricep. The movement requires transitioning between an inverted V (pike) position and a cobra pose, demanding strength, flexibility, and coordination.
