Modified Hindu Push-Up
Description
The modified hindu push-up follows the wave-like dive bomber pattern of a full hindu push-up but with reduced range. The body starts in a downward dog position, sweeps the chest down and through, and pushes back up. It is a great move for shoulder mobility and chest strength.
