Place your hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart
Keep your fingers spread and grip the floor
Extend your legs straight back
Keep your body in a straight line from head to heels
Tighten your core and glutes
Keep your neck neutral and look slightly ahead of your hands
Lower your chest toward the floor in a controlled motion
Keep your elbows at about a 30 to 45 degree angle from your body
Lower until your chest is close to the floor or as far as you can maintain form
Press through your palms to return to the starting position
Keep your hips from sagging or piking up
Move through a full controlled range of motion
Breathe in as you lower down
Breathe out as you push up
Stop if you feel pain in your shoulders, wrists, or back
