Instructions
1. Start in a standard push-up position but drop your knees to the ground to support your lower body.
2. Stagger your hands by placing one hand slightly forward and the other slightly back from your shoulder line.
3. Keep your body in a straight line from your knees to your head, engaging your core and glutes to prevent your hips from sagging.
4. Lower your chest towards the ground by bending your elbows, maintaining a tight core, and keeping your body aligned. Ensure your head is in a neutral position by looking down at the ground.
5. Lower yourself until your chest is just above the ground, with elbows bending back at about a 45-degree angle from your body.
6. Push through your palms, straightening your arms, and return to the starting position.
7. Complete the desired number of repetitions, maintain the staggered hand position or alternate the stagger with each set or repetition as desired.
Remember to perform the exercise with control and use a full range of motion to maximize muscle engagement. Adjust the staggering distance of the hands to find a comfortable position that provides good muscle activation and minimizes joint strain.
