Exercise Description

The forearm push up builds serious upper body strength and core stability. It targets your chest while forcing your abs and shoulders to work overtime.

How To

1. Start in a plank position but rest on your forearms instead of hands, elbows under shoulders 2. Keep your body straight from head to heels, engage your core tight 3. Push up onto your hands one arm at a time, maintaining the forearm push up position 4. Lower back down to forearms one arm at a time in a controlled motion 5. Complete the forearm push up rep and repeat the movement pattern

Form Tips

• Keep your core rock solid during the entire forearm push up movement • Move one arm at a time - don't rush the transition • Keep your hips level and avoid rotating your torso • Maintain steady breathing throughout each forearm push up rep

Common Mistakes

• Letting hips sag or pike up breaks the straight line your body needs • Rushing through the forearm push up movement instead of staying controlled • Not engaging the core leads to poor form and wasted effort
