Dear Garmin Team,
I would like to suggest adding more advanced bodyweight push-up variations to the Garmin Strength exercise library.
Currently, users can track standard push-ups, but several important variations are not easy to classify accurately.
These exercises are commonly used in strength training, calisthenics, martial arts, functional training, and advanced bodyweight progression programs.
It would be very helpful if Garmin could add the following exercises:
- One-Arm Push-Up — A push-up performed with only one hand on the ground, emphasizing unilateral upper-body strength, core stability, and anti-rotation control.
- One-Arm One-Leg Push-Up — An advanced variation performed with one hand and one foot on the ground, increasing the demand on balance, core tension, shoulder stability, and full-body coordination.
- Contralateral One-Arm One-Leg Push-Up — A variation performed with one hand and the opposite foot supporting the body, creating a diagonal stability challenge across the torso and hips.
- Single-Arm Push-Up — A general classification for push-up variations where one arm performs most or all of the pressing work.
- Single-Leg Push-Up — A push-up performed with one leg lifted, increasing core engagement, hip stability, and balance requirements.
- Archer Push-Up — A push-up where one arm bends while the other remains extended to the side, helping build strength toward one-arm push-ups.
- Uneven Push-Up — A push-up performed with the hands at different heights or positions, increasing asymmetrical loading and shoulder stabilization demands.
- Offset Push-Up — A push-up with one hand placed forward and the other farther back, challenging shoulder control, trunk stability, and coordination.
- Pseudo Planche Push-Up — A push-up performed with the hands positioned closer to the hips and the body leaning forward, increasing load on the shoulders, chest, triceps, and anterior core.
Having these exercises available as distinct entries would allow users to track their training more accurately instead of logging them generically as standard push-ups.
Adding these variations would improve Garmin’s strength-training ecosystem for users who follow bodyweight strength progressions, calisthenics routines, corrective exercise programs, martial arts conditioning, and advanced functional training.
Thank you for considering this feature request.
