Start in a high plank position with hands under shoulders
Keep your body in a straight line from head to heels
Tighten your core and glutes
Look slightly ahead of your hands
Lower your chest toward the floor by bending your elbows
Keep elbows at about a 45-degree angle from your body
Go down until your chest is close to the floor or as far as you can control
Push through your palms to return to the starting position
Keep your neck neutral
Breathe in as you lower down
Breathe out as you push up
Start with knee push-ups if full push-ups are too hard
Keep reps slow and controlled
Stop if you feel pain in your wrists, shoulders, or back
Practice consistently and increase reps gradually
