How to do it
- Place your hands just wider than your shoulders, body in one line from head to heels.
- Squeeze your glutes and brace your abs so your hips do not sag.
- Lower your chest to just above the floor, elbows about 45° from your body.
- Push the floor away until your arms are straight.
Watch out: Sagging hips or flaring your elbows straight out to the sides.
