Dive Bomber Push-Ups

1. Start in a downward dog position.
2. Using your shoulders and lats (back muscles), lower your head downward toward the floor.
3. As it approaches the floor, lead with your chest forward and up to reach an up dog position.
4. Follow that same path we just took in order to raise back up into the down dog position.
5. To do this, lower your chest downward and use your chest, shoulders, and lats to push your body back up on the diagonal.
- Keep your core engaged.
- Activate your shoulders to lower to the floor and to push back away from the floor.
- Make sure to follow the same path back up into the downward dog in order to get the full exercise. It is easy to want to raise your hips straight back up from the up dog position without lowering and pushing back up from your chest and shoulders, but if you don't follow the original path, you will miss the second half of the exercise.
