FitCi
Step-by-step
- Take a standard push-up position with hands shoulder-width apart and body in a straight line
- Lower your chest toward the floor under control
- Push up explosively enough for your hands to leave the ground
- Keep your arms ready (not rigid) in the air and land softly by bending your elbows
- Flow directly from the landing into the lowering phase of the next rep
Coaching tip
Soften the landing by bending your elbows; a stiff landing hammers the wrists and shoulders.
Caution
Skip this move or ask a professional first if you have pain or an injury in: wrist, shoulder. FitCi filters it out of your program automatically based on the injuries in your profile.
