How to do it

Spread your fingers wide and grip the floor to stabilize your wrists.

  1. 1

    Kneel on the ground and place your hands on the floor slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.

  2. 2

    Elevate your feet on a raised surface, keeping your knees on the ground.

  3. 3

    Lower your chest towards the floor by bending your elbows.

  4. 4

    Push back up to the starting position, fully extending your arms.

  5. 5

    Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

Expert tip

Keep your elbows at a 45-degree angle to your body to reduce stress on the shoulder joints. Engage your glutes and core to maintain proper form.
