How to do it

1. Begin in a plank position with your hands placed slightly wider than shoulder-width apart and your feet hip-width apart. Your body should form a straight line from head to heels.
2. Push through your hands to protract your shoulder blades, rounding your upper back slightly.
3. Lower your body towards the floor by bending your elbows, keeping them close to your body to perform a push-up.
4. Return to the plank position. Repeat the sequence for the desired number of repetitions.

Form tips

• Maintain a straight body line during the push-up, avoiding any sagging or arching of the back.
• Keep your elbows close to your body during the push-up to effectively target your chest and triceps.
• Perform the exercise on a stable, non-slip surface to prevent slipping and ensure safety.
