Overview

Dive bomber push-ups develop strength, endurance, and flexibility. This is a great exercise for anyone with limited or no equipment. Dive bomber push-ups are functional and deliver both strength and conditioning benefits. Try these in place of regular push-ups at your next workout.

Description

  • Get into a pushup position.
  • Push your body back and lift your hips.
  • Your legs and arms should be straight.
  • Bend your arms and “dive” your nose forward toward the ground.
  • Then lift your head upward as you continue forward, straightening your arms.
  • Reverse this motion by pushing your body back and lifting your hips again.
  • Repeat for a specified number of reps.

Mistakes

  • Not “swooping” close enough to the ground.
  • Allowing the hips or stomach to rest on the ground (while in the forward position).
