Instructions
1. Begin in a standard push-up position with your hands shoulder-width apart, your arms straight, and your body forming a straight line from your head to your heels.
2. Engage your core muscles to stabilize your body and keep your hips level.
3. Shift your weight slightly to your left side and lift your right hand off the floor.
4. Tap your left shoulder with your right hand while keeping your body as still as possible to prevent rocking.
5. Place your right hand back into the starting position.
6. Shift your weight to your right side and repeat the movement with your left hand tapping your right shoulder.
7. Continue alternating taps for the desired number of reps, maintaining a tight core and controlled movements throughout the exercise.
Key Tips: Keep your movement slow and controlled to challenge your core stability. Try to minimize swaying in your hips and lower back by actively engaging your core. Breathe steadily throughout the exercise, exhaling as you tap the shoulder and inhaling as you return to the starting position. To modify for difficulty, perform the exercise with a wider stance of your legs or by doing the taps from your knees.
