This is a great exercise that works the upper body pushing muscles as well as the abs and lower back, which have to contract forcefully throughout the movement. We use this as an upper body finisher or rep challenge exercise. The key points to look for are a full range of motion and no sagging of the hips or collapse of the lower back… which of course, sometimes goes out the window in the heat of competition. But do your best.
What I love about this exercise is that it requires more athleticism than a regular pushup so it serves multiple purposes.
You can get your Power Wheel HERE. It’s a great piece of equipment that I can’t recommend highly enough. And nothing works your abs any harder.

Get me a Power Wheel! I’ll have some of that, too (seriously, … very seriously)! The guys on the Power Wheels may have convinced me I need to get a Power Wheel. It’s probably one of the best sales pitches Power Wheel is ever going to get.
The screams at the end of the Power Wheel push-up race (what a great training idea!) reminded me of Dr. Ruth’s (Dr. Ruth Westheimer, sex expert) cameo appearance, as herself, in the Billy Crystal & Meg Ryan 1989 movie, “When Harry Met Sally.” (In the movie, Dr. Ruth overheard Billy Crystal’s character, Harry Burns, say that he could always tell if a woman was faking an orgasm. Whereupon, Meg Ryan’s character, Sally Albright, proceeded to fake the sounds of an orgasm at the crowded restaurant lunch table they were sitting at. Upon hearing Sally and looking at her menu, Dr. Ruth tells her server, “I’ll have what she’s having!”)

@John Helmeke: John, Sorry to tell you but the lady at the restaurant was director Rob Reiner’s mother, not Dr. Ruth. Still a classic line though.

So, that’s why I couldn’t find Dr. Ruth’s name on the imdb.com cast list for “When Harry Met Sally!” Dr. Ruth would have been the perfect choice for the part, though! My (bad) memory told me what I wanted to believe! I’m sorry for the misinformation Chris.

@John Helmeke: No worries John. I agree Dr. Ruth would have been a funnier casting choice to deliver that classic line.
