Hand Release Push Up
About
Hand-release push-ups work your chest, shoulders, triceps, and core. Lifting your hands off the floor resets each rep and keeps your form sharp.
How to 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.
Precautions
1. Engage your core to prevent your back from bending or sagging.
2. Move smoothly and steadily to avoid straining your wrists and shoulders.
3. In the beginning, focus on practicing correct posture rather than aiming for a high number of repetitions.
