How to do it

Pause for one second at the bottom of each rep before pressing up.

  1. 1

    Set the suspension straps just above the ground.

  2. 2

    Place your hands in the handles and get into a push-up position.

  3. 3

    Lower your chest towards the handles, keeping your elbows close to your body.

  4. 4

    Push back up to the starting position and repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

Expert tip

Maintain a plank position throughout the movement, preventing your hips from sagging or piking up. Keep your hands directly below your shoulders.
