If you prefer to get your workout done in the comfort of your home or backyard, then consider this full body exercise that will help you work up a sweat! The dynamic push up gives you the reliability of a push up but pushes you like a few laps around a track so you feel exhausted, proud and stronger when it’s over. The dynamic push up is perfect for someone in need of exercise but without a lot of time.

How to do (Video)...

Step By Step

Step 1: Start in a push-up position. Place your hands on the floor about shoulder-width apart and your legs straight out, propped up on your toes. Your neck, back, hips and legs should be in a straight line. Step 2: Spring off your toes and hop forward like a frog, keeping your hands on the floor. Your knees should be near your chest when you hop forward. Step 3: Immediately hop back into the push-up position and do a full push-up. Bend your elbows and lower your chest down to the floor then extend your arms and push back up. Alternate the hop with the push-up for as many times as you can do it.

You can modify this exercise to make it more or less difficult. Instead of a full push-up you can drop your knees to the floor for an easier push-up. For a harder workout, do a burpee with a push-up instead.
