Instructions

  1. Get into a standard push-up position with your feet shoulder-width apart. Place one hand on the floor just below your chest and the other behind your lower back. Stretch your legs back, spread them wide and point your toes towards the floor.
  2. Keeping the body tense, "screw" the resting palm to the floor, twisting it slightly, and slowly lowering the chest to the floor. Pause and return to the beginning.

Tips

  • Don't let the elbow expand. Instead, keep your working elbow firmly pressed to your side.
  • Avoid dislocating your hips; instead, keep your core tight and your back straight throughout the movement.
