Technique

  1. Start in a standard push-up position.
  2. Do one push-up.
  3. Walk your hands a short step to one side while your feet pivot, so your body turns like a clock hand.
  4. Do another push-up in the new position.
  5. Keep stepping and pressing until you have made a full circle, then go the other way.

Cues

  • Keep the feet as the center point of the circle.
  • Stay rigid from head to heels while the hands move.
  • Take small, even steps.

Common mistakes

  • Letting the hips sag while walking the hands.
  • Shortening the depth of the push-ups as you tire.
  • Only ever turning in one direction.
