Much more than a Shoulder Workout

Like all great animal workouts, Hindu Pushups are much more than a shoulder workout. They also work your arms, back, chest, and legs. They will increase your strength and stamina, as well increase the flexibility of your spine, hips, and shoulders. If this sounds good to you, then give Hindu Pushups a try.

Hindu Pushup (Dand)

  1. To get into the ready position to perform a Hindu Pushup, start in the “up” position of a regular pushup with your feet spread wider than shoulder width.
  2. Walk your hands backwards so that your butt is in the air, your arms and legs are straight, and you are looking back through your legs. From the side, your body should resemble an inverted “V”
  3. Start bending your elbows so that your body comes forward. Your hips will come down towards the floor. Before your head hits the floor, however, start to arch your spine so that you are looking towards the ceiling. Straighten your arms.
  4. You should exhale as you are looking at the ceiling
  5. Keep your arms straight and push your butt back to the starting position while inhaling.
