Instructions
1. Begin by securing a suspension trainer to an overhead anchor point and adjust the straps to hang about a foot off the ground.
2. Place each foot into the handles so that your toes are pointed down when in the plank position.
3. Establish a strong plank position with your hands on the ground, slightly wider than shoulder-width apart. Your body should form a straight line from shoulders to ankles.
4. Engage your core and glutes to maintain a solid base. This will be your starting position.
5. Lower your body towards the ground into a push-up, keeping your elbows close to your sides.
6. As you descend, bring one knee forward towards the elbow on the same side, trying to mimic the Spiderman climbing action.
7. Push your body back up to the starting plank position while simultaneously returning your raised leg back to the straight position.
8. Repeat the movement with the opposite leg, alternating the knee drive with each push-up.
For safety, ensure that you are comfortable with suspension trainers and regular push-ups before attempting this advanced exercise. Focus on maintaining a stable core throughout the movement and perform the knee drives in a controlled manner. Adjust the difficulty by changing the angle of your body in relation to the ground—more inclined will be easier, more parallel will be harder.
