Instructions
1. Starting Position:
- Begin in a standard push-up position. Place your hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart. Your body should form a straight line from your head to your heels.
2. Feet Placement:
- While maintaining the push-up position, lift one leg off the ground and extend it straight back. Keep your core engaged to maintain stability.
3. Movement:
- Lower your body towards the ground by bending your elbows. Make sure to keep your elbows close to your body as you descend.
- As you push up from the ground, focus on maintaining your balance with the lifted leg. Your core should stay tight throughout the movement.
4. Repetition:
- Perform the push-up while holding the leg position for a set number of repetitions or a desired time. Aim for 8-12 repetitions for beginners.
5. Switch:
- After completing the repetitions on one side, switch to the other leg and repeat the exercise.
6. Breathing:
- Inhale as you lower your body and exhale as you push back up to the starting position.
7. Tips:
- Ensure that your back remains straight and your hips do not sag or raise too high during the movement.
- If you find this exercise too difficult, you can modify it by keeping both feet on the ground or performing the exercise on your knees.
