Pike push-ups

How to do it

1. Set upStart in a downward-dog shape: hips high, hands shoulder-width, head between your arms.
2. MoveBend your elbows and lower the top of your head toward the floor just in front of your hands, then press back up. Your shoulders do the work.
3. Watch forLetting your hips drop as you lower, which turns it into a sloppy push-up. Keep the pike tall.
