Spider-Man or Mountain Push-Ups

You can start in the normal push-up position, you would need to raise your right knee toward your right elbow then return it to normal position. You would then need to repeat this process on left side and then you can alternate them. It’s as if Spider-Man was climbing up the building, or like the one when someone is doing the mountain climbing, hence the name.

 

Judo Push-Ups

For this push-up, you would need to raise your back so that your back and legs form an inverted V-shape and then using the strength of the arms, you would glide your body down as if nose touching the ground and then you would lift you heads forward and up toward the sky to fully extend your arms. It’s a mixture of ancient Indian push-up.

 

Clapping and One-Handed Push-Ups
