Instructions
1. Start in a kneeling position with your hands placed on the ground, slightly wider than shoulder-width apart, fingers facing forward. Your knees should be bent and resting on the ground - this is your starting position.
2. Keeping your body straight and your core engaged, slowly lower your body towards the floor by bending your elbows. Lower until your chest or chin nearly touches the floor.
3. Push through your hands to extend your elbows, lifting your body back to the starting position.
4. From the top of the push-up position, push your hips back towards your heels, while lowering your forehead to the ground and extending your arms out in front of you. This is the Child Pose.
5. Hold the Child Pose for a desired duration, focusing on breathing and allowing your lower back to stretch.
6. Return to the kneeling position and prepare for the next push-up repetition.
7. Repeat the sequence for the desired number of repetitions and sets, ensuring proper form throughout the exercise.
