Description

Alternating pushups exercise is a perfect way to challenge your body a little further. It is a superb variation in classic pushups to make them more interesting and strengthening. Pushups work on your whole body specifically shoulders, triceps, chest and back. Keep your back and spine neutral is the key to perform the move properly. Alternating pushups are also a great challenging exercise for core abdominal muscles. It works on lower body, quadriceps, gluteus and calves.

Step 1

Begin by lying on the floor with your toes curled under your feet and your palms planted below your chest about shoulder width apart. Exhale and push yourself up into a prone straight arm plank position. Then bend your elbow and lower your chest close to the ground keeping your abs and glutes tight. Do not let your back sag in the middle and keep your neck and spine aligned in a neutral position.
