Instructions

Starting Position

  • Begin in a plank position with your hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.

  • Keep your feet together or hip-width apart, ensuring your body forms a straight line from your head to your heels.

  • Engage your core and squeeze your glutes to maintain a stable, neutral spine.

Movement

  • Slowly lower your body toward the ground by bending at the elbows, keeping them at about a 45-degree angle from your torso.

  • Continue lowering until your chest is just above the floor without touching it.

  • Push through your palms to return to the starting position, extending your arms fully while keeping your body rigid throughout the movement.
