4. Lateral pushups
- Lie on the floor on your right side, right hand on your left shoulder and left hand on the floor in front of you.
- Press up with your left hand so that your body is off the floor. The pelvis remains on the floor.
Lower yourself back to the floor and repeat the exercise. - Repeat the process on the other side.
5. Push-ups on the parallel bars
For this exercise you need bars. There are a number of devices with a horizontal bar for sale, with which you can do a lot of exercises at home. If you do not want to spend money, you can find bars on any sports field or school stadium.
- Jump on the bars and keep your body weight on the stretched arms. Lower your shoulders and cross and bend your legs slightly.
- Lower yourself and bend your elbows until your shoulders are parallel to the floor or slightly lower. Try to keep your elbows close to your body, pull your shoulders back and down and squeeze your shoulder blades together.
- To work your pecs rather than your triceps, bend your chest slightly forward during the push-up at an angle of about 30 degrees.
- Press upward while tensing the abdominal muscles and repeat the exercise.
