Archer Pushup. Assume a pushup position, but extend one arm out to your side so it's perpendicular to your body and only your fingertips touch the floor. Squeeze your glutes and quadriceps, and brace your core. Maintain these contractions for the entire movement. ~The Archer Push-up allows you to take a higher percentage of your own body weight with one arm, but also still allows the other arm to assist slightly. Start in the “up” push up position with your arms wider than shoulder width. Keep the body in a straight line- no sagging hips.~
