Position

Start in a plank position with your hands shoulder-width apart and your body in a straight line from head to heels.

Movement

• Lower your body towards the floor by bending your elbows and keeping your core engaged.
• Push yourself back up to the starting position by extending your arms and squeezing your chest muscles.

Breathing

Inhale as you lower your body towards the floor and exhale as you push yourself back up.

Tips

• Maintain a tight core and straight body position throughout the movement.
• Keep your elbows close to your body to engage the triceps and prevent shoulder strain.
• Modify the exercise by performing push-ups on your knees or against an elevated surface if needed.
