3. Push up and return to the starting position.
4. Repeat on the right side and keep alternating sides until the set is complete.
Proper Form And Breathing Pattern
Before you can do spiderman push ups you need to be able to do a regular push up. Remember to keep your spine neutral, engage your core muscles and exhale as you push yourself back up. Keep your knees high and away from the floor and make sure that your movement is fluid and well-coordinated. By the time you get to the bottom of your push up, your knee needs to be up.
