Step 1

Plant both feet on the floor slightly further than shoulder width apart. Looking straight ahead, bend at both the hips and knees, and place your hands on the floor directly in front of your feet.

Step 2

Keeping your body weight on your hands, kick both of your feet backwards so that your legs are completely extended behind you, resting on the balls of your feet. Your body should be in one straight line from head to toe. This is called push up position.

Step 3

Whilst maintaining a straight back and stabilising through your abdominals, bend your elbows and lower your torso towards the floor until your arms form a 90 degree angle.

Step 4

Push through your chest and extend your arms to lift your body back into push up position.

Step 5

Jump both of your feet in towards your hands, ensuring that your feet remain shoulder width apart.

Step 6

Propel your body upwards into the air. Extend your legs below you and your arms above your head. Land in a neutral standing position, ensuring that you maintain “soft” knees to prevent injury. Repeat for the specified number of repetitions.
