Push Up to Side Plank

Strengthen your chest, shoulders, and core using only bodyweight.

This hybrid movement combines the strength of a pushup with the stability challenge of a side plank. It’s a great way to train multiple muscle groups in a single motion. FitnessTracker recommends this for bodyweight training enthusiasts and anyone looking to enhance upper-body and core control.

Instructions

  1. Begin in a standard pushup position with your hands slightly wider than shoulder width.
  2. Lower yourself toward the floor, keeping your body in a straight line.
  3. As you push back up, rotate to one side, lifting one arm toward the ceiling in a side plank.
  4. Return to the pushup position and perform another rep, rotating to the opposite side.
  5. Alternate sides and repeat for the desired number of reps.
