TRX Atomic Push-up

How to do it

  1. Place both feet into the TRX foot cradles and extend into a plank position with hands on the floor under the shoulders.
  2. Brace the core hard to keep the suspended legs from swinging side to side.
  3. Lower into a push-up by bending the elbows until the chest nears the floor.
  4. Press back up to full arm extension, then immediately draw both knees in toward the chest using the straps.
  5. Extend the legs back out to the plank position to complete one full repetition.
  6. Exhale as the knees drive in and keep the hips level throughout both the push and the tuck.
