  • 3Lower yourself until your chest almost touches the floor.
  • 4Push your body back up to the starting position.
  • 5Repeat the movement for the desired amount of reps.

Tips:

  • Keep your body in a straight line from head to heels during the exercise.

  • Always maintain a full range of motion, both while rising and lowering yourself.
  • Don't rush the movement, keep it controlled and steady.
