How to perform

Start in a high plank, hands under shoulders, arms extended. Maintain a straight line from head to heels, engaging your core and glutes. Lower your body by bending your elbows close to your sides until your chest is just above the ground. Extend your arms to return to the starting position. Repeat.

Tips

Maintain a straight line throughout. Keep elbows tucked to maximize triceps engagement and reduce shoulder strain. Engage your core and glutes for stability. Inhale on the lower, exhale on the push up. Modify on your knees if needed, maintaining alignment.
