Kind of like the explosive push up, but now you clap your hands when you’re up. It is not much harder, but it looks cooler, and it’s more fun.

Step 1: Get into the standard push up position.

Step 2: Lower your chest down to the ground.

Step 3: Instead of rising up like normal, you explode up. That way, your hands come up off the ground. Then, clap your hands together in front of your chest!
When your hands hit back down, absorb shock with arms.
Repeat.
