Few exercises test core and upper-body strength as well as the
front-loaded pushup. The reason: It shifts your weight forward, forcing
your pecs and deltoids to work overtime to keep your body balanced, says
BJ Gaddour, C.S.C.S., creator of Men's Health new DVD fitness system 10-Minute Torchers.
Here's how you do it: Assume a pushup position. Lower your chest toward the floor, but as you do, push your body forward (your hands should end up near your waist). Return to the starting position.
Once you can perform the move with perfect form, try this grueling challenge: Do front-loaded pushups for 30 seconds straight. Shoot for 10 reps during that time. That's 1 set. Do 3, resting 60 seconds between each set. Too easy? Elevate your feet against a wall, pause at the bottom of each repetition, or lengthen the set and shorten the rest.
