Half Cobra Push-Up

Setup

• Lie face down on a mat with your legs extended straight behind you, tops of the feet resting on the floor.

• Place your hands flat on the floor directly under your shoulders with your elbows tucked closely in toward your ribcage.

Movement

• Inhale as you press through your palms and use your upper back and triceps to lift your chest slightly off the floor, keeping your lower ribs and hips pressed down.

• Keep your elbows pinned tightly against your sides throughout the entire range of motion.

• Exhale slowly as you lower your torso back down with control until your chest lightly touches the mat.
