This is an instructional video to correctly demonstrate The super slow press up 1 minute down & 1 minute up, which is a very hard press up version and is especially good for endurance.

The content in this video is provided for general information purposes only and is not meant to replace a physiotherapy or medical consultation.

Step by Step

  1. This exercise works your Pecs, Anterior Deltoid and Triceps
  2. Like any exercise this should be pain free or shouldn’t increase existing pain levels, during, after and the next day.
  3. It is normal to feel some delayed onset muscle soreness between 48-72 hours but this should be manageable
  4. Place your hands on the floor, slightly outside shoulder width apart.
  5. Spread your fingers slightly out and have them pointed up in the direction of your head.
  6. Raise up onto your toes so that all of your body weight is on your hands and your feet.
  7. Engage your abdominals to keep your body in a straight line and prevent arching your back or pointing your bottom in the air.
  8. Next, bend your elbows and lower your chest down towards the floor slowly over the course of 1 minute
  9. The angle of your upper arms away from your body should be about 45 degrees.
  10. Once your elbows bend slightly beyond 90 degrees, then slowly reverse direction by pushing off the floor to straighten your elbows and return to starting position, which should take another minute

Online Physiotherapy

Put simply this is Physio done via either telephone or video over the internet. Skype and facetime are examples of this.

Contrary to popular belief online physiotherapy can be very effective and it can help the same injuries that face to face physio can help. I have helped many people with injuries such as disc prolapses, tennis elbow, neck pain and much more).
