Lateral Push-up Toes (alternating)

Video coming soon...

The Lateral push-up toes (alternating) workout is a bodyweight exercise that primarily engages the Full Body.

By using bodyweight, this workout targets major muscle groups such as the chest, arms, shoulders, and core.

It involves performing push-ups while lifting one leg at a time, challenging stability and balance.

While auxiliary muscles are activated, the focus remains on the Full Body engagement through the bodyweight resistance.

Start in a high plank position with your hands directly under your shoulders and your feet hip-width apart.
Engage your core and keep your body in a straight line from head to toe.
Shift your weight onto your left hand and rotate your body to the right, lifting your right hand off the ground.
Extend your right leg out to the side, keeping it straight and in line with your body.
Lower your body down towards the ground by bending your left elbow, while keeping your right leg extended.
Push through your left hand and straighten your left arm to return to the starting position.
Repeat the exercise on the opposite side by shifting your weight onto your right hand, rotating your body to the left, and extending your left leg out to the side.

Engage your core: Before starting the lateral push-up toes exercise, focus on activating your core muscles by drawing your belly button towards your spine. This will help stabilize your body and maintain proper form throughout the exercise.
Keep your body in a straight line: As you perform the lateral push-up toes, make sure to maintain a straight line from your head to your heels. Avoid sagging or arching your back, as this can put unnecessary strain on your lower back and compromise the effectiveness of the exercise.
Control your movement: Take your time to perform each repetition with control and precision. Lower yourself down slowly and push back up with controlled force. This will not only engage your muscles more effectively but also reduce the risk of injury.
Focus on your breathing: Inhale as you lower yourself down and exhale as you push back up. Focusing on your breath will help you maintain a steady rhythm and enhance your mind-body connection during the exercise.
Gradually increase the difficulty: As a beginner, it’s important to start with the appropriate level of difficulty. Once you have mastered the basic form, you can challenge yourself by increasing the range of motion or adding variations, such as lifting one leg or performing the exercise on an unstable surface. This will keep your workouts exciting and help you progress towards your fitness goals.</li
