Hindu Push-ups
Hindu push-ups, also known as Dive Bomber Push-Up or Judo Push-ups, are a type of bodyweight exercise that combines yoga-inspired movements with traditional push-up motions. Hindu push-ups offer a dynamic and effective way to engage multiple muscle groups while promoting flexibility and joint mobility.
How to do:
The Hindu push-up involves a sequence of movements that flow together, creating a continuous and rhythmic exercise. Here’s how to perform a Hindu push-up:
- Starting Position: Begin in a downward dog position. This is similar to a yoga pose. Start on your hands and knees, then lift your hips and straighten your legs to form an inverted V shape with your body. Your hands should be shoulder-width apart, and your feet should be hip-width apart.
- Descent (Dive Bomber Phase):
- Shift your weight forward, lowering your upper body toward the ground while keeping your arms straight.
- Continue moving forward until your chest almost touches the ground. Your hips will be low, and your back will be arched, resembling an upward-facing dog yoga pose.
- As you descend, make sure to look upward and forward, allowing your head to come up and your back to arch deeply.
- Ascent:
- From the downward-facing dog position, push your hips back and upward, moving them toward the ceiling. Your head should look back between your legs.
- As your hips rise, bend your elbows and lower your chest back to the starting position.
- Continue this motion until you return to the downward dog position.
- Repeat: Repeat the sequence for the desired number of repetitions, maintaining a smooth and controlled flow between the different positions.
