Instructions
Starting Position:
Begin in a standard push-up position. Place your hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart. Your body should form a straight line from your head to your heels.
Feet Placement:
While maintaining the push-up position, lift one leg off the ground and extend it straight back. Keep your core engaged to maintain stability.
Movement:
Lower your body towards the ground by bending your elbows. Make sure to keep your elbows close to your body as you descend.
As you push up from the ground, focus on maintaining your balance with the lifted leg. Your core should stay tight throughout the movement.
Repetition:
Perform the push-up while holding the leg position for a set number of repetitions or a desired time. Aim for 8-12 repetitions for beginners.
Switch:
After completing the repetitions on one side, switch to the other leg and repeat the exercise.
Breathing:
Inhale as you lower your body and exhale as you push back up to the starting position.
Tips:
Ensure that your back remains straight and your hips do not sag or raise too high during the movement.
If you find this exercise too difficult, you can modify it by keeping both feet on the ground or performing the exercise on your knees.
