20 Single-Leg Push-Ups with Fitz: A Core & Upper Body Challenge
What Are Single-Leg Push-Ups?
Single-leg push-ups are a fun and advanced variation of the classic push-up. By lifting one leg, you challenge your stability, core strength, and upper body muscles all at once. This move works the chest, triceps, shoulders, and core, while also improving balance and control.
How to Do Single-Leg Push-Ups
In the video, Fitz demonstrates the correct way to perform this exercise:
- Start in a high plank position, with hands under shoulders and feet hip-width apart.
- Engage your core and lift one leg slightly off the ground, keeping it straight.
- Lower your chest toward the floor by bending your elbows, keeping your body in a straight line.
- Push back up to the starting position, maintaining control and balance.
- Switch legs halfway through or after completing 10 reps per side.
- Repeat for 20 reps, staying strong and steady!
Why These Are a Game-Changer
- Upper Body Strength: Builds power in the chest, shoulders, and triceps.
- Core Stability: Forces your abs and obliques to work harder.
- Balance & Coordination: Engages stabilizing muscles for better control.
- Increased Difficulty: Adds a new challenge to standard push-ups!
