If you've mastered the basics of push-ups then take them to the next level. Add some unilateral, balance, and core engagement elements to make your push-ups harder. Link for How To Do Push-ups.
One Leg Push-ups
Reduce your base of support and activate your glutes by lift one leg off the ground throughout the exercise.
Balance Trainer Push-ups
Use the bubble side down of a piece of balance equipment to add difficulty and challenge your core. Balance Trainer Recommendation
Suspension Trainer Push-ups
Place your feet in the suspension straps to add an unstable base for your feet making the exercise tougher to stay steady. Top Suspension Trainer Recommendation
MB Push-ups
Place your hands on the med ball with a narrow hand placement, which will require more tricep engagement throughout the exercise. Top Medicine Ball Recommendation
SB Push-ups
Challenge your stability and strength by doing your push-ups on a stability ball. Have the wall or partner help you hold the ball in place as you adjust your core to keep the ball still during the exercise. Top Stability Ball Recommendation
