How to do it
Shift your weight firmly onto the supporting hand before each tap.
- 1
Start in a high plank position with your hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.
- 2
Lower your body towards the ground in a controlled push-up.
- 3
As you push back up, quickly tap your chest with one hand.
- 4
Return your hand to the starting position and repeat the push-up, alternating the chest tap with the opposite hand.
- 5
Continue for the desired number of repetitions.
Expert tip
Ensure your body maintains a straight line from head to heels and avoid sagging your hips to maintain proper form and target the chest muscles effectively.
Common mistakes
- ✕Excessive torso rotation during the tap
