How to perform

Start in a push-up position, hands shoulder-width apart. Shift weight forward onto straight arms. Engage your core, lift legs, and spread into a straddle. Maintain a straight line from head to toes, parallel to the ground. Hold, then slowly lower legs back down.

Tips

Keep wrists under shoulders. Tighten your core for balance. Beginners should start with planche progressions. Consistent practice builds strength and balance. Breathe steadily. Parallettes can improve wrist comfort.
