Pushing exercises

Half FrontKeeping a balance of the body requires us to work in all the planes of movements, knee, hip, push and pull. Pushing movements work in two planes, vertical and horizontal.

Vertical Push – Movements in this category of the Sussexsport fitness training philosophy require pushing a resistance up above the centre line of the body. Vertical Push movements target the muscle of the shoulders (deltoids).
