Move of the day: Cobra Push Up I did a push up challenge this week in my classes and one of the stars of the workout was the Cobra push up! Very graceful&#8230;maybe even a little seductive. This takes a lot of upper body strength so don&#8217;t be discouraged if you can&#8217;t do it with attempt #1. This move works your chest, arms, and core. A. Start in plank on palms B. Then pretend you have a bar (limbo bar) in front of your head and try to bring your head under it, then your back as you lower yourself into a chest pushup. If you go low enough your chest will graze the mat. C. Once you&#8217;ve slithered under the bar, come into a full cobra with straight arms D. Then come back to plank and repeat

This move works your chest, arms, and core.

A. Start in plank on palms

B. Then pretend you have a bar (limbo bar) in front of your head and try to bring your head under it, then your back as you lower yourself into a chest pushup. If you go low enough your chest will graze the mat.

C. Once you’ve slithered under the bar, come into a full cobra with straight arms
