The Lizard walk is a challenging variation of a push up. As the video above shows, I had some fun doing this exercise in various parts of Antigua. Below is a description on how to do this fun bodyweight exercise.

How to do lizard walk push ups:

  1. Start in a plank position.
  2. Lift up your right hand and left foot and move them forward. Your left foot should end up to the outside of your left hand.
  3. Do a push up.
  4. Lift up your left hand and right foot and move them forward. Your right foot will now be to the outside of your right hand.
  5. Do another push up.
  6. Repeat with right hand/left foot.
  7. Continue for as many reps as you choose.

Stationary lizard walk pushups:

  1. Do steps 1-3 in the above description.
  2. Lift your right hand and left foot again and move them back so you end up in the starting plank position again.
  3. Now lift your left hand and right foot to do the other side and then again, move them back to return to the starting plank position.
  4. Keep alternating for a set number of reps.
