STEP 1 – Get into a high plank position. Place your hands firmly on the ground, directly under your shoulders.
STEP 2 – Lower your body as you inhale until your chest almost touches the floor. Keep your back flat and eyes focused about three feet in front of you to keep a neutral neck.
STEP 3 – Exhale and press your upper body back up to the starting position while squeezing your chest.
STEP 4 – After a brief pause back at high plank position begin to lower yourself again for as many repetitions as needed – for beginners we recommend starting with 3 sets of 8-10 repetitions and gradually increase the number of repetitions and sets as your strength increases.
TIP – If you need a less intense variation you can either bend your legs at the knees or perform against the wall instead of the floor.
