How to perform

Start in a push-up position, body in a straight line. Place fists shoulder-width apart, knuckles down. Engage your core, lower chest towards the ground, keeping elbows close. Extend arms to return to the starting position. Repeat.

Tips

Align wrists with forearms. Maintain a tight core. Start on a softer surface if needed. Focus on controlled movements. Inhale on descent, exhale on ascent. Adjust fist position or use push-up bars if wrists are uncomfortable.
