Shoulder Tap Push-up
Equipment
Lower your body towards the floor in a controlled manner as if you are performing a regular push-up, keeping your body in a straight line from head to heels.
As you push your body back up to the plank position, lift your right hand off the ground and tap your left shoulder.
Place your right hand back on the ground and then lower your body again for another push-up.
After pushing back up, lift your left hand off the ground and tap your right shoulder, completing one repetition. Repeat these steps for your desired number of reps.
Pro Tip
Controlled Movement: While performing the shoulder tap push-up, make sure to tap your shoulder gently with the opposite hand without twisting your hips. Many people make the mistake of rushing through the movement, but it's essential to maintain control throughout to engage the correct muscles and prevent injury. Core Engagement: Engaging your core is key in this exercise. It helps stabilize your body and prevent your hips from swaying side to side. A common mistake is to neglect the core and focus only on the arm movement. This can lead to an ineffective workout and potential back injury. Breathing Technique
