EXERCISE INSTRUCTION
- Get on your knees and place your hands on the floor at shoulder level, spread them shoulder-width apart. Tighten your abs and stretch your legs so that your body forms a straight line from your shoulders to your knees.
- Keeping your elbows close to the sides of your torso, bend your elbows and lower yourself down almost until your chest touches the floor.
- Pause, then push back to the starting position.
NOTE: Keep your back straight and level throughout the exercise. During the movement, the body must remain rigid. At the top of the push-up, the arms should be fully extended at the elbows.
