Proper Form

2. Keep your elbows close to your sides and your torso upright throughout the movement.

3. Once your upper arms are parallel to the ground, push back up to the starting position.

Breathing Technique

1. As you lower your body, inhale deeply.

2. As you push back up, exhale.

Precautions
