Once one develops the foundation of Upper Body Pushing found in Planks we might begin progressing toward more advanced and arguably more “fun” versions of upper body strength exercises.
-
Beginners to Crow: Start with 5 leans forward and back to rest attempting to hold the 5th forward lean for 5 seconds
Intermediate Crow: Try for 15 second holds for multiple sets
Variations in video:
1. Bent Elbows: knees outside arms
2. Knees on triceps
3. Straight arms: knees in armpits
As you become familiar with static versions of hand-balancing and pushing strength, you may also consider approaching active locomotion where a distance is crossed while supporting on the arms.

Some of the beginning variations of handstand may be approachable once a foundation has been built in crow.
-
Perhaps most important. Don’t ignore developing your push-up among the most important pushing skill.
