About

It's a combination of planks and push-ups, which is the easiest and most effective workout for the upper body!

How to Plank Push Up

Starting Position

1. Please lie down with your elbows on the ground.

2. Your elbows should be positioned directly below your shoulders.

3. Engage your core to prevent your hips from dropping down.

Proper Form

1. Take the push-up starting position with your arms wider than your shoulders and your feet about hip-width apart.

2. Bend one arm and touch the floor with your elbow, then do the same with the opposite arm.

3. When lowering your arms, engage your core tightly and maintain a straight line from your head, through your back, to your legs.

4. Push up one arm at a time and return to the starting position.

Breathing Technique

Exhale while stretching your arms and inhale while bending your arms.

Precautions

If your elbows touch the floor, you may experience pain, so I recommend placing a mat or something similar on the floor while exercising.
