Instructions

Kneeling One Side Archer Push Up

Positioning

1. Begin by kneeling on the floor with your knees hip-width apart.
2. Place your hands on the ground in front of you, slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.
3. Shift your weight to one side, turning your body so that you are positioned on that side.
4. Extend the arm on the same side as your body weight out to the side, keeping the other arm bent and close by your side.

Movement

1. Engage your core and lower your body toward the floor by bending your elbow on the side where your weight is situated.
2. Keep your extended arm straight as you descend, ensuring that your shoulder stays above your wrist.
3. Push yourself back up to the starting position by straightening your elbow.
4. Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions, then switch sides to work the opposite arm.

Tips

- Maintain a straight line from your knees to your head throughout the movement.
- Focus on controlled movements, avoiding any sudden motions.
- Make sure to breathe steadily: inhale as you lower and exhale as you push yourself back up.
