How to perform

Start on your knees, hands shoulder-width apart. Keep knees together and feet lifted. Engage your core, maintaining a straight line from head to knees. Lower your body until your chest nearly touches the floor, bending your elbows. Push through your palms to return to the starting position. Repeat.

Tips

Maintain a tight core and a straight line from head to knees. Keep elbows at a 45-degree angle. Avoid arching your back. Focus on controlled movements. Use push-up bars or a soft surface if wrists are uncomfortable.
