Archer Push-ups
Description
The Archer Push-up is an advanced variation of the traditional push-up that emphasizes unilateral strength and stability. To perform this exercise, start in a standard push-up position. As you lower your body, shift your weight to one side, extending the opposite arm out to the side. This movement requires control and balance, engaging the core and shoulder stabilizers. Push back up to the starting position and repeat on the other side. This exercise not only targets the chest, triceps, and shoulders but also enhances coordination and strength for one-arm push-ups.
