In today’s video, we’re diving into Shena Board exercises for beginners.

The Shena Board is an ancient training tool once used by Persian warriors.

I’ll show you three beginner-friendly push-up variations you can do on the Shena that build strength, mobility, and endurance, while being easier on the wrists than regular push-ups.

The 3 push-ups variations demonstrated with the shena board are:

  1. Split-stance push-up

  2. Hindu push-up

  3. Mike Tyson push-up

Benefits of training with the Shena Board

Greater range of motion: The Shena board is elevated, allowing deeper push-ups and stronger chest/shoulder/triceps activation.

Wrist comfort: The neutral hand positioning reduces strain compared to floor push-ups.

Muscle engagement: Deeper push-ups and circular movements recruit stabilisers and connective tissues more effectively.

Exercise variety: Supports multiple grips (sword, neutral, wide, close) and push-up styles (Hindu, split-stance, Mike Tyson, etc.).

Improved coordination & balance: Flowing push-up patterns challenge body control.

Strength + mobility combo: Blends isometric strength, dynamic stretching, and endurance.
