In Indian gymnastics and martial arts, a dand is a specific type of push-up that's closer to a flowing dive-and-push motion than the standard military push-up. It's a foundational exercise in traditional Indian wrestling (kushti) and fitness systems, combining strength with a fluid movement that engages the whole body. The dand has gained some following in modern functional fitness circles as an alternative bodyweight movement that challenges flexibility and strength together.
His trainer prescribed a hundred dands each morning as part of the traditional wrestling prep.
