Instructions

1. Position an elevated surface, such as a bench or sturdy block, in front of you. Ensure it is secure and won't move during the exercise.

2. Kneel down on the floor with your knees shoulder-width apart and your body straight from your knees to your head.

3. Place your fingertips on the edge of the elevated surface, with your hands directly underneath your shoulders.

4. Engage your core and keep your body straight as you lower yourself by bending your elbows, allowing your chest to go towards the elevated surface.

5. Stop when your chest is just above the surface, ensuring your elbows are pointed backward and do not flare out.

6. Push through your fingertips, extending your arms to lift your body back up to the starting position. Focus on squeezing your chest muscles at the top of the movement.

7. Perform the desired number of repetitions, and make sure to maintain proper form throughout the set.

8. Take care to ensure your back remains straight and your core stays engaged during the exercise to prevent strain on your lower back.

Remember, the difficulty of the exercise can be altered by changing the height of the elevated surface – a higher surface will make the exercise easier, a lower surface will increase difficulty. Always listen to your body and modify the exercise if needed to maintain good form and avoid injury.
