S9: Push-up

 

Key instructions

Lie face down on the floor or mat and keep your back straight. 

If this is difficult, do the exercise on your knees.

If that is still too difficult, perform the exercise on a raised surface such as a desk or chair (see video).

  1. Breathe in and control the descent with your elbows bent at 90° and your back straight.

  2. Breathe out and push up, raising your body by pushing through your hands.
