Half Push-Up Instructions

Starting Position:
1. Find a flat and sturdy surface where you can perform the exercise comfortably.
2. Begin in a plank position with your hands placed flat on the ground, approximately shoulder-width apart.
3. Your feet should be hip-width apart, and your toes should be tucked under. Your body should form a straight line from your head to your heels.

Movement:
1. Engage your core and maintain a straight line from your head to your heels throughout the exercise.
2. Slowly lower your body toward the ground by bending your elbows. Keep your elbows at about a 45-degree angle from your body.
3. Lower yourself until your chest is just above the ground (or as low as you can comfortably go).
4. Pause briefly at the bottom of the movement.
5. Push through your palms to raise your body back to the starting position, fully extending your arms.

Tips:
- Focus on maintaining good form; don’t let your hips sag or rise excessively.
- Keep your head in a neutral position, looking slightly ahead of you.
- If you're a beginner, you can start by performing the push-ups on your knees instead of your toes to reduce the difficulty.
