How to do it

  1. Start in a push-up position with your hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart and your feet together.
  2. Extend one arm straight out to the side, parallel to the ground.
  3. Lower your body towards the ground by bending your elbows, keeping your back straight and core engaged.
  4. Push back up to the starting position, using your chest muscles to lift your body.
  5. Repeat with the other arm extended.
