Pike-To-Cobra Push-Up
The pike-to-cobra push-up is a dynamic bodyweight exercise that combines elements of a push-up, pike, and cobra pose. It targets the glutes primarily, while also engaging the core, shoulders, and triceps. The movement requires transitioning between an inverted V (pike) position and a cobra pose, demanding strength, flexibility, and coordination.

- 6.Push through your hands to return to the inverted V position.
