How To Do Spiderman Push-Ups
Spiderman push-ups are a great exercise for activating your obliques and core while improving your balance, coordination, and hip mobility.
To perform a spiderman push-up, start at the top of a traditional push-up position. As you are going down towards the ground into a regular push-up, raise one knee up and towards your elbow, touch them together while you are at the bottom of the push-up, then lower your leg down to its starting position as you come back up to the top of the push-up. Continue by alternating sides.
