Push Ups with the Push Up Devices
The Push Up Handles, also known as the Push Up Devices, are a great place to practice your Push Ups (I mean it is in the name). However, you can also challenge your Push Ups if you need, as you can go lower than the floor will let you! Elevating a plank does make Push Ups more possible as well. And if you have any wrist issues, using the Push Up Handles is often a more accessible way to do Push Ups. So, basically Push Up Handles are awesome! Once you have the Push Up’s down explore the other fun ways to use the Push Up Handles!
Pilates push ups use the entire body! Use your legs, center, hips!
Place each handle on a sticky pad, your shoulders distance apart and parallel, like they are making an 11. Stand facing the handles with your heels together and toes apart. Hugging your legs together, reaching your tailbone for your heels without leaning back into your knees, reach your arms overhead. Round forward and place one hand on each handle. Wrap your hands around the handles and work the wrists straight. Lifting up in your center, step one foot back and then the other.
Holding your plank with head in line with your upper back, and a long spine through the hips to the heels, bend your elbows back and lower yourself as low as you can push back up. Step one foot in as if you were doing Single Leg Stretch on the mat. Then step the other foot in. Roll up with arms reaching up overhead. Repeat or try other Push Handle exercises. You can always do up to 3 push ups per rep.
