Instructions

  1. Step 1: Start in a high plank position with your hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart and your body in a straight line from head to heels.

  2. Step 2: Lower your body towards the ground by bending your elbows, keeping them close to your sides.

  3. Step 3: Once your chest is just above the ground, push through your hands to extend your arms and lift your upper body up.

  4. Step 4: At the top of the movement, protract your shoulder blades by pushing your upper back towards the ceiling.

  5. Step 5: Pause for a moment, then reverse the movement by retracting your shoulder blades and lowering your body back down to the starting position.

  6. Step 6: Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
