Exercise Description

Judo Pushup is a total body exercise that primarily targets the chest. In addition, it also targets the shoulders, middle back, lower back, and triceps to a lesser degree.

Exercise Instructions

  • Step 1

    From a push-up position, spread your legs wide and move them to your hands a few inches, shortening the normal push-up position. Raise your hips so that your body forms an inverted V.
  • Step 2

    Lower the front of your body with your arms until your chin is close to the floor, keeping your elbows close to your body.
  • Step 3

    At the bottom point, tilt your head and shoulders up, lowering your hips until they almost touch the floor. Do the opposite and return to the beginning.
