Instructions:

  • 1Start in a kneel-down position with hands shoulder-width apart in a push-up stance
  • 2Lower yourself as in a regular push-up but keep your knees on the ground
  • 3Push up back to the starting position
  • 4From that position, sit back onto your heels pulling your hands towards your feet
  • 5Return to the start position for the next repetition

Tips:

  • Do the movements slowly and controlled
  • Make sure to keep your body aligned – your body should form a straight line from your shoulders to your knees
  • Remember to breathe: exhale as you push up, inhale as you lower back down
  • For a deeper stretch in the child's pose, spread your knees wider
