Understanding The Basics Of Hindu Pushups

Hindu Pushups. I’m Sorry, What?

That is a really widespread reaction I get when I mention these wonderful pushups to some of my customers. Hindu pushups are really a variation from its much more popular counterpart, the pushup, and they’re just a little distinct from one another. You have probably heard about the Dive bomber pushups, right? If you haven’t, this video will show what it really is:

Dive bombers pushups as well as the Hindu pushups are really comparable except for one considerable distinction. Whenever you perform Dive bombers pushups, you need to bend your arms once again to go back towards the starting position. Here’s how a Hindu pushup looks like:

Did you see the distinction? Using the Hindu pushup, you go back towards the beginning position by taking a path that is various from the one you took when you started out on it. But in the Dive bomber pushup, you go back to performing what you did throughout the start of the physical exercise.

Performing Hindu Pushups The Correct Way

Once you start on a Hindu pushup, you just start off the way you would for a typical pushup: in the “up” position and your arms extended completely. Your feet need to be spread wider than the width of your shoulder.

Slowly walk your hands backwards until your butt points straight towards the air and your arms and legs are positioned perfectly straight. When other folks would look at your side, it would appear as if you're in an upside-down “V” position.

Then, slowly bend your elbows to move your body forward towards the ground. When your head nears the ground, arch your back until you might be facing the ceiling. As you do this, straighten your arms.

While keeping your arms straight, push yourself back towards the beginning position.

*Note: The whole motion need to be somewhat flowing, just like a wave crashing into the shore. Avoid getting clunky. And, as you're facing towards the ceiling, exhale deeply.

The Advantages of Hindu Pushups

Folks would at very first feel that Hindu pushups are over glorified workouts. Should you perform a dozen or much more of these pushups, you won’t believe the same way anymore. Once you perform these pushups, your shoulders, arms, chest, back, and legs are all worked out. This pushup assists in strengthening your body and also boosts your stamina and enhances your flexibility.

When to Perform Them

Folks need to perform Hindu pushups in high repetitions. This is why it's not proper to make use of it for regular strength training programs. If you are aiming for improvements in strength and size, you ought to use greater weights with lower repetitions, and not these forms of pushups. But these pushups are truly good workouts, and can even compliment your calisthenics workouts. You are able to perform these pushups when you don't have access to the gym or if you are in your hotel room, or if you just need to attempt a various workout.
