Plyo Push Up

• Lower your body towards the ground like you would in a standard push-up, keeping your elbows close to your body.
• As you push up from the bottom of the motion, do so with enough force that your hands leave the ground, this is the 'plyo' or plyometric part of the exercise.
• While in the air, quickly clap your hands together and then place them back on the ground in the original position.
• Land softly, absorbing the impact through your arms, and immediately lower your body back down into the next push-up. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

• Explosive Push: The key to a Plyo Push Up is the explosive push. After lowering your body to the floor, push up as hard as you can so that your hands leave the ground. This requires a lot of strength and power, so make sure you're ready for the challenge.
• Soft Landing: When your hands return to the ground, make sure to land softly. This will help to prevent any unnecessary strain or injury to your wrists.
• Core Engagement: Engage your core throughout the entire movement. This will not only help to stabilize your body but also increase the effectiveness of the exercise.
• Avoid Locking Elbows

Plyo Push Up is a more advanced exercise that requires a certain level of strength and fitness. Beginners may find it difficult to perform due to the explosive, high-intensity nature of the movement. However, they can start with basic push-ups and gradually progress to more advanced variations like the Plyo Push Up as their strength and fitness improve. It's always important to ensure proper form and technique to avoid injury.

• Clap Plyo Push-Up: This version requires you to push off the ground with enough force to clap your hands in mid-air before landing back in the standard push-up position.
• Tuck Plyo Push-Up: This is an advanced variation where you tuck your knees to your chest in mid-air after pushing off the ground, working both your upper body and core.
• Spiderman Plyo Push-Up: In this variation, as you push off the ground, you bring one knee towards the corresponding elbow, mimicking Spiderman's wall-climbing movement.
• Staggered Plyo Push-Up: This involves placing one hand slightly forward and the other slightly backward, then pushing off the ground and switching hand positions mid-air, challenging your coordination and balance.
