How to Do
How to Do Incline Push Up With Rotation
The incline push up with rotation should begin with good posture to avoid injury. Brace the spine by drawing your lower abdomen inward. Your core muscles should be activated to support your posture as you perform the exercise.
If any pain is experienced, immediately stop the incline push up with rotation.
