Instructions

  1. Get into a standard push-up position with your arms slightly wider than shoulder-width apart and your elbows fully locked. Your body should form a straight line.
  2. Tightening your body, slowly lower yourself to the floor. Be sure to keep your elbows bent at your sides so that they form a 45-degree angle with your torso. When your chest touches the floor, pause in that position and then return to the starting position.
  3. From here, lift one arm off the floor and reach toward the ceiling, rotating your upper body in the same direction until your body is in a T-shape. Return to the starting position.

Tips

  • Don't let your elbows open; keep them close to your sides throughout the exercise.
  • Keep your core tight and your back straight throughout the movement.
  • Do not flip as you reach for the ceiling.
