How to Do
How to Do Inverted Push Up
The inverted push up 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 inverted push up.
Beginning

Movement
Inverted Push Up Movement
1. Straighten your upper body and arms such that your shoulders are directly above your hands as you push off the floor.
2. Straighten your legs so that only your hands and heels support your body while your hips drive you upward.
3. Hold that position for a few seconds before slowly lowering your body until your buttocks are on the floor.
4. That counts as one rep. Start with a few reps and work your way up to many sets of 10 to 15 reps.
