Begin on all fours, positioning your hands close together to form a diamond shape. Maintaining a straight line from shoulders to ankles, brace your core and lower your body by bending your elbows until your chest nearly touches the ground. Extend your arms to return to the starting position and repeat.
Position your hands beneath your lower chest to keep elbows close to your body, protecting your shoulders. Perform the exercise through a complete range of motion. If standard push-ups are challenging, modify by performing them on your knees or an elevated surface. Prioritize proper form over the number of repetitions. Engage your glutes and abs to maintain a stable spine throughout the movement.
