Rabbit Push-up

These notes combine advice from 5 reviewed passages across 4 workouts.

Overview

The Rabbit Push-up has more than one described form. One form combines a push-up with both feet moving inward and back together. A separate variation uses a slow backward descent through the fingertips instead of the inward foot movement.

Inward-jump form

Perform the push-up, jump both feet inward together, and return them backward. Keep the knees together throughout the foot movement so that no gap opens between them.

Keep both hands planted and do not rise into a burpee. Hold the inward position for one second before sending the feet back. With the feet close to the hands, the arms may briefly relax.

Forward-lean sequence

For the sequence described with elevated feet, lean forward, perform the push-up, and then draw the feet inward.

Backward-descent variation

In the separate variation, lower backward slowly through the fingertips. This version does not use the inward-and-back foot action.
