How to perform

Start on your knees, hands under shoulders, fingers forward. Engage your core, keep your back straight. Lower your chest towards the floor, bending your elbows close to your body. Pause briefly above the ground. Push through your palms to return to the starting position. Repeat.

Tips

Keep elbows tucked in to engage triceps. Maintain a straight line from head to knees. Control the movement throughout. Inhale on the lower, exhale on the push.
