Instructions
1. Start in a standard push-up position with your hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart and your body forming a straight line from your heels to your head.
2. Lower your body towards the floor by bending your elbows, keeping your core tight and back straight.
3. Explosively push up from the ground, propelling your hands off the floor. Aim to lift your upper body into the air.
4. Land softly with your hands back on the floor and immediately lower yourself into the next push-up, maintaining a controlled and continuous motion.
5. Repeat the plyo push-ups for the desired number of repetitions or until you can’t maintain proper form.
Safety Tips: - Warm up your muscles with dynamic stretches before performing this exercise. - Land with bent elbows to absorb the impact and protect your joints. - If you're unable to maintain proper form or experiencing pain, stop the exercise. - Beginners should master the regular push-up before attempting the plyometric version.
