For many, standard push-ups are challenging enough. But with a bit of practice, most people can master this classic bodyweight move - and that’s where push-up variations come into play. From triceps and Spiderman push-ups to plyometric, fingertip, and typewriter versions, there’s no shortage of ways to mix things up.
That’s why I decided to try the Hindu push-up. Starting in a downward dog position, you bend your elbows, dive through your hands, and press up into a cobra. It’s part strength move, part mobility drill, with a hint of yoga flow, and it turns out to be a surprisingly effective upper-body exercise too.
