Try these next level push-ups to help tone upper body and abs! Reverse pike with shoulder touch push-ups is an intermediate exercise and should be performed on a stable surface prior to performing it with the StrongBoard Balance board. This exercise is primarily for the chest, shoulders, and abdominals but will also work the entire core musculature, along with the obliques and lower back.
