Pike Press
- This week’s mission is to perform the Pike Press in three positions (bent at the waist with straight legs and your butt pointing up toward the sky).
- Start with the easiest pike position, walk your hands closer to your feet for more of a challenge, then go extreme for the third option (hands closest to your feet).
- Chose the challenge level that suits you best.
How to do Pike Press:
- Step 1: Place your feet up on a bench and your hands on the ground. Chest towards the floor.
- Step 2: Keeping your legs straight bend at the waist so that your shoulders and head are pointed towards the ground.
- Step 3: Bend at the elbows and lower your shoulders towards the floor.
- Step 4: Touch your head to the floor and then push yourself back up. This completes one repetition.
