How to do it
- Kneel on a mat and place your hands on the floor a little wider than your shoulders.
- Walk your hands forward until your body forms a straight line from your head to your knees, and brace your core.
- Lower your chest toward the floor with your elbows about 45° from your body.
- Push back up to straight arms, keeping your hips in line instead of bending at the waist.
Warm up first and pick a weight you can control through the whole movement. Stop if something hurts.
