Step by step

How to do the Isometric Wipers

  1. 1

    Assume a push-up position, supporting your weight on your hands and toes while keeping your body straight. Your hands should be just outside of shoulder width. This will be your starting position.

  2. 2

    Begin by shifting your body weight as far to one side as possible, allowing the elbow on that side to flex as you lower your body.

  3. 3

    Reverse the motion by extending the flexed arm, pushing yourself up and then dropping to the other side.

  4. 4

    Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
