Step 1

Place both hands on the floor slightly further than shoulder-width apart, feet together behind you while resting on the balls of your feet. This is your starting position.

Step 2

Inhale. Jump both of your feet outwards so that they are slightly wider than your hips, ensuring that your hips remain level.

Step 3

While maintaining a straight back and stabilising through your abdominals, bend your elbows and lower your torso towards the floor until your arms form two 90-degree angles.

Step 4

Exhale. Push through your chest and extend your arms to lift your body back into push-up position with your feet still apart.

Step 5

Inhale. Jump both of your feet inwards to return to the starting position.

Step 6

Bend your elbows and lower your torso towards the floor until your arms form two 90-degree angles.

Step 7

Exhale. Push through your chest and extend your arms to return to the starting position. Repeat for the specified number of repetitions. Each push-up is equivalent to one repetition.
