Hand Release Push Up

Starting Position

1. Lie face down on the floor and take the basic push-up position.

2. Keep your hands shoulder-width apart and maintain your body in a straight line from head to toes.

3. Prepare to slightly lift your hands while lowering your body completely until your chest and stomach touch the floor.

Proper Form

1. First, lower your body until your chest touches the floor, getting into a fully prone position.

2. In that position, briefly lift both hands off the floor and then place them back down.

3. Push the floor with your hands, straighten your arms, and lift your body up to complete the push-up.

4. Slowly lower your body again until your chest touches the floor, and repeat the motion of lifting your hands.

Breathing Technique

Exhale when you push your body up, and inhale when you lower your body to the floor.
