How to do it
- Start in a high plank position with your hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart and your feet together.
- Engage your core and lower your body towards the ground by bending your elbows, keeping your body in a straight line.
- Pause for a moment when your chest is just above the ground, then push yourself back up to the starting position by straightening your arms.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
