Hand Release Push-Up with Across-Body Knee Tap

Setup

Begin in a high plank position with your hands directly under your shoulders, body in a straight line from head to heels. Engage your core and glutes.

The Push-Up

1. Lower: Slowly lower your chest to the floor by bending your elbows until your entire torso rests on the ground.

2. Release: Briefly lift both hands off the floor to ensure a full bottom position.

3. Drive: Place your hands back under your shoulders and push explosively back up to the starting high plank position.

The Knee Tap

1. Tuck: Immediately after reaching the top of the push-up, bring one knee diagonally across your body toward the opposite elbow.

2. Engage: Focus on squeezing your core muscles as you bring the knee in.

3. Return: Extend the leg back to the starting plank position.

Repetition

After completing the knee tap, perform the next repetition, alternating the knee used for the cross-body tap each time.
