Instructions
1. Start in a standard push-up position with your hands shoulder-width apart and your body in a straight line from your head to your heels.
2. Lower your body to the floor in a controlled manner while keeping your elbows close to your sides.
3. Once your chest touches the floor, lift your hands off the ground briefly, keeping your body straight.
4. Place your hands back on the floor and push through your palms, engaging your chest, shoulders, and triceps to return to the starting position.
5. Keep your core engaged throughout the exercise to maintain proper form and protect your lower back.
6. Repeat for the desired number of reps and sets, ensuring that each rep includes the hands release movement at the bottom of the push-up.
Make sure to warm up adequately before performing this exercise and to adjust your technique if you experience any discomfort.
