Clock Push Up

A push-up variation that incorporates movement in different directions to target the chest and improve stability.

Instructions

• Start in a push-up position with your hands and feet aligned under your shoulders.
• Perform a standard push-up by lowering your chest to the ground, keeping your body straight.
• As you push back up, move your right hand to the 1 o’clock position and perform another push-up.
• Return to the starting position and perform another push-up before moving your left hand to the 11 o’clock position.
• Repeat the sequence, alternating hand positions to mimic the hands of a clock.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Failing to keep the body aligned, resulting in a sagging midsection.
• Not fully extending the arms during the push-up phase.
• Rushing through movements which can lead to poor form and reduced effectiveness.
