How to perform

Start in a push-up position, hands shoulder-width apart, body in a straight line. Engage your core, elbows tucked. Slowly lower your body towards the ground over 3-5 seconds, maintaining control. Push back up or briefly rest before repeating.

Tips

Maintain a straight line from head to heels. Control the descent; lower slowly and steadily. Keep your core engaged for stability. Use your knees to assist if needed.
