TRX Pike Push-up

How to do it

  1. Place both feet into the TRX foot cradles and set the hands on the floor under the shoulders in a plank.
  2. Lift the hips upward into a pike position so the body forms an inverted V shape.
  3. Bend the elbows to lower the top of the head toward the floor between the hands.
  4. Press firmly through the palms to extend the arms and return to the raised pike position.
  5. Keep the core braced to hold the hips high rather than letting them drop back to a flat plank.
  6. Exhale on the press and control the tempo instead of dropping quickly into the bottom position.
