How to Do the Pike-to-cobra push-up

Start in a push-up position with your hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart and your feet together. Engage your core and lift your hips up towards the ceiling, forming an inverted V shape with your body. Lower your upper body towards the ground by bending your elbows, keeping them close to your body. As you lower down, shift your weight forward and transition into a cobra pose by straightening your arms and lifting your chest up. Reverse the movement by bending your elbows and lowering your chest back down towards the ground. Push through your hands to return to the inverted V position. Continue the movement by lowering your hips back down towards the ground, returning to the starting push-up position. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
