Leave it toKate Hudsonto take push-ups to a whole new level.
The 39-year-old actress shareda video from her workouton Friday, where she did a super complicated — andlikely super effective— version of a push-up. With her left leg out to the side, Hudson goes down to the floor and then pushes up into a down dog and sticks her left leg into the air.
Hudson powers through four of the push-ups in the video, with her back and arm muscles looking ripped.
“Gettin stronger….!@nicolewinhofferkicking my 🍑 ,” she captioned the video on Instagram.
Her longtime trainer Nicole Winhoffer reposted Hudson’s video, and said that she calls the move “The Serpent.”
“Low Impact Dynamic Stretch Toning activates our fascia and reshapes our bodies in new ways,”Winhoffer added. “Also it’s really sexy.”
Brooklyn Decker said, “My toothpick arms would collapse and I would die.”
Hangoverstar Ed Helms joked: “Wow. I can’t do that. I just tried and I wound up pulling 9 muscles, tearing 2 ligaments and farting a little.”
AndVampire Diaries’s Nina Dobrev added: “Get. It. Gurllllll.”
Hudson, whogave birth to her third child, daughter Rani Rose, in October,is determined to “shed 25 lbs.”before she starts filming a new movie in the spring. To reach that goal, she’s working out consistently andalso joined WWas theirnew ambassadorin December.
“It came at a perfect time for me, because at this point after having three babies it’s like sense memory. You want to start getting back into shape and to get strong again and focus on your own personal health,”she told PEOPLE. “It’s hard when you have babies. Everyone comes before you, and you have to find that time to just focus in on yourself.”
Luckily, Hudson said that she loves the “challenge” of moving her body.
“I enjoy being disciplined. I enjoy being athletic, and I enjoy being active. So for me it’s actually kind of a fun time to challenge my body again in certain ways,” she says. “After pregnancy, getting your body back into shape for me — especially in fitness — finding my stomach muscles again and pushing myself a little bit harder sometimes are things that I enjoy.”
