Targets: Middle chest

About

The name was given because the workout posture was similar to the shape of the arm when shooting an arrow. Please balance your arms well!

How to Archer Push Up

Starting Position

1. Please lie down with your arms spread about twice shoulder-width apart.

2. Engage your core to keep your body in a straight line.

Proper Form

1. Bend one arm and lower yourself until your chest is almost touching the floor.

2. Keep the other arm straight to support yourself on the ground.

3. Use the bent arm to return to the starting position.

Breathing Technique

Inhale when bending your arms, and exhale when pushing your arms.

Precautions

1. Since it is a very advanced exercise, please substitute with push-ups if it's difficult.

2. Please lower yourself only as much as you can without straining your shoulders.

3. Keep your core engaged to prevent your hips from dropping.
