Instructions

Setup

  1. Begin in a high plank position with your hands directly under your shoulders.

  2. Lower your knees to the mat, creating a straight line from your head to your knees.

  3. Ensure your core is braced and glutes are slightly engaged to maintain a neutral spine.

Execution

  1. Inhale as you bend your elbows, lowering your chest toward the floor. Keep your elbows tucked at a 45-degree angle to your body.

  2. Pause briefly at the bottom of the movement without letting your chest or hips touch the floor.

  3. Exhale as you press back up to the starting position by extending your arms.

  4. Maintain control throughout the entire range of motion, avoiding sagging of the hips.
