Criss-Cross Arm Prayer Push

Criss-Cross Arms Prayer Push Chest

Positioning:
1. Stand upright with your feet shoulder-width apart for a stable base.
2. Relax your shoulders and keep your posture tall.
3. Raise your arms to shoulder height and stretch them out to your sides with your palms facing forward.
4. Criss-cross your arms in front of your chest, placing one hand over the other.

Movement:
1. With your arms crossed, press your hands together firmly. Engage your chest muscles as you do this.
2. Hold the position for a brief moment, feeling the stretch in your chest and arms.
3. After holding, uncross your arms and return to the starting position with arms extended to the sides.
4. Repeat the crossing and pressing movement for 8-12 repetitions.

Tips:
- Keep your core tight and avoid leaning back; maintain a strong and upright posture throughout the exercise.
- Focus on your breathing—exhale as you press your hands together and inhale as you return to the starting position.
- If you're new to this movement, start slowly to ensure proper form and avoid straining your shoulder muscles.
