1. Begin by lying prone (face down) on the floor with your legs extended behind you and your hands palms down at chest level, as shown in the first image. This is your starting position.
2. Engage your core and keep your body in a straight line from head to heels.
3. Press your hands into the floor and straighten your arms, lifting your torso and thighs off the ground, while arching your back slightly. Your pelvis should remain in contact with the floor to ensure proper form and target the correct muscle groups. This is shown in the second and third images.
4. Hold the top position for a moment, ensuring that you are using your back muscles to keep your chest open and shoulders down away from your ears.
5. Lower your body back down to the starting position in a controlled manner.
6. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Seal push-ups are a variation of the traditional push-up that places more emphasis on the upper body and core while also stretching the abdominal muscles. This exercise is beneficial for improving strength and flexibility in the upper body. It is suitable for many fitness levels as it uses body weight for resistance and can be modified if necessary.
