Instructions
1. Position a box or an elevated stable surface behind you.
2. Begin by kneeling on the ground and placing your feet on top of the box so that your hips are at an angle declining towards the ground.
3. Place your hands on the ground, slightly wider than shoulder-width apart, with fingers pointing forward or slightly outwards.
4. Brace your core, keep your back straight and ensure that your body forms a straight line from your knees to your head.
5. Lower your chest towards the ground by bending at the elbows, keeping them close to your body without flaring out to the sides.
6. Lower yourself until your chest is just above the ground, ensuring your elbows form a 90-degree angle.
7. Push through your hands to raise your body back to the starting position, fully extending your arms and squeezing your chest at the top of the movement.
8. Complete the desired number of repetitions, maintaining control and proper form throughout the exercise.
Remember to breathe in as you lower your body and exhale as you push back up. Adjust your hand placement or foot elevation to increase or decrease the intensity of the exercise.
