How to do the Pike Push-Up Hold

1. Start in a high plank, hands under shoulders and legs long.
2. Lift your hips to form an upside-down V, pressing firmly through hands and toes.
3. Bend your elbows out to the sides and lower your head toward the floor while keeping hips high.
4. Hold the powerful position and breathe into the shoulders before easing out.

Tips

• Keep legs active and heels reaching toward the floor even if they do not touch.
• Let the head stay between the biceps so the neck can relax.

Adjustments

• Soften the knees and lower the hips slightly if the full bend is too intense today.
