Repeat for one minute.
Start in plank position with your hands under your shoulders and your body in one straight line.
Place your hands together directly under your sternum, with the tips of your index fingers and thumbs touching.
Your fingers and thumbs should form a diamond or triangle shape.
As you inhale, bend your elbows out to the sides, and lower your chest toward the floor.
Then exhale to straighten your arms.
This counts as one push-up.
Complete as many as you’re free to with proper form.

Keep your waist lifted with energy shooting out of the top of your head.
Inhale, and slowly lower yourself back to starting position.
Do three sets of 10 to 15 reps.
