Instructions
Secure a suspension trainer to an overhead anchor and adjust the handles to about knee height.
Position your hands on the ground slightly wider than shoulder-width apart and put your toes in the suspension trainer's foot cradles.
Extend your legs back so your body forms a straight line from head to heels, maintaining a strong plank position. Your hands should be directly beneath your shoulders.
Brace your core and keep your body rigid throughout the movement.
Lower your body in a straight line toward the floor by bending your elbows out to the sides.
To perform the "star" variation, as you lower your body, simultaneously abduct one arm and the opposite leg, extending them out to create an "X" shape with your body.
Push through your hands, returning to the starting plank position, while bringing your extended arm and leg back to the center.
Alternate the extended limbs with each repetition.
Maintain control and a tight core throughout the exercise, ensuring your hips do not sag or your back does not arch excessively.
Perform the desired number of repetitions, focusing on maintaining good form and controlled movement.
Please Note: The "Suspender Star Push Up" is an advanced exercise that requires significant core strength and stability. Beginners should start with regular suspension trainer push-ups before attempting this variation. Always ensure the suspension trainer is securely fastened, and perform the exercise on a non-slip surface for safety.
