Instructions

1. Start in a standard push-up position with your hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart, feet together, and your body forming a straight line from head to heels.

2. Lower your body down towards the ground, keeping your elbows close to your sides, until your chest nearly touches the floor.

3. Push up through your hands to return to the starting position.

4. As you reach the top of the push-up, shift your weight onto your left hand and rotate your body to the right, lifting your right arm off the ground and bringing your right knee towards your left elbow for a knee tap.

5. Return to the push-up position and perform another push-up.

6. After completing the push-up, shift your weight onto your right hand and perform the rotational movement to the left side, this time lifting your left arm and tapping your left knee to your right elbow.

7. Continue alternating sides with each repetition, completing all the reps for one set.

Ensure that your movement is controlled, and your hips are kept as stable as possible throughout the exercise to maximize engagement of the core muscles. Keep your breathing steady, inhaling as you lower down and exhaling as you push up and rotate.
