I’m going to give you a couple exercises that will remind you of a spider super hero. These are exercises you may not have experienced in the past: Spider Pushups and the Spider Climb. Here’s how you do the spider push-up: start in push-up posture as if you were going to do a regular pushup. When you lower yourself, you should bring a knee to your elbow and then return it.

Do this again on the next count, only remember to alternate sides the whole time you’re doing this drill.
If you’re going to do this properly, you should maintain an inline position and don’t be twisting at your waist.

You’ll need to be flexible in the hip area in order to perform this drill. When done properly, the Spiderman pushup is very difficult to do since it involves transferring from four to three contact points when your knee comes forward.

This gives you’re abdominals a good workout because of the additional pressure and stress.

Of course, it’s a really good exercise for the entire body too. Spider lunges are another good way to utilize your own weight. to get some good benefit to your abs.

This one can be confusing, so you need to be very careful when doing it.

What you need to do is get into the upper position of a pushup. Then you’ll keep your thighs low and bring one of your feet up to your hands.

Send your leg back to starting position and then do it with your other foot.

For those who are just getting started you want to exercise caution. Also for those who aren’t very flexible right now.

You don’t wnat to stretch yourself too much, so if you only bring up your feet to the halfway point, that’s a good way to get started. As you get experienced at it, you’ll find that you can bring your feet up further.

The reason for this spider climb is to get the abdominals braced and then worked for building stamina. These are two great exercises you can do that will get your abs in the condition you want.
