Plyo Pushup How-To
Welcome, to week two of our pushup video series!
Last week we talked about the versatility of a push-up, and how it can target different aspects in your training programs. We left you with a video on how to do a 180-degree pushup (plyo pushup), which really gets your heart pumping!
In today’s video we are going to show you how to do a plyo pushup. This push-up focuses on strength, core stability, and power. The more power you can produce, the higher your jump will be.
Important things to keep in mind when performing the plyo pushup:
- Keep your core tight and hips level through your pushup and jumps
- Land softly and absorb your landing with your arms (keeping your core tight and strong will help with this).
- If you start to get really good, try adding in a clap. Then see how many claps you can get between your push-ups.
Good luck! And enjoy this week’s pushup.
