How to do it

1. Begin in a standard push-up position with your hands placed slightly wider than shoulder-width apart and your body forming a straight line from head to heels.
2. Perform a push-up by lowering your body towards the floor by bending your elbows, then push back up to the starting position.
3. Move your right hand and left hand a few inches to the left (clockwise) and perform another push-up.
4. Return both hands to the starting position and perform another push-up. Repeat this sequence, alternating between the starting position and the clockwise position for the desired number of repetitions or duration.

Form tips

• Focus on maintaining proper form during each push-up, ensuring your elbows are at a 45-degree angle to your body.
• Perform the movement with control, especially when moving your hands, to avoid unnecessary strain on your wrists and shoulders.
• Breathe steadily throughout the exercise, exhaling as you push up and inhaling as you lower yourself.
