How to do it

  1. Start in a push-up position with your hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart and your feet together.
  2. Lower your body towards the ground by bending your elbows, keeping your back straight and core engaged.
  3. As you push back up, kick one leg out to the side, extending it fully and engaging your glutes.
  4. Return your leg to the starting position and repeat the push-up, alternating legs with each repetition.
  5. Continue alternating leg kicks and push-ups for the desired number of repetitions.
