Instructions
1. Start in a traditional push-up position but place only one hand on the ground, directly under your shoulder. Spread your feet wider than usual for stability.
2. Place your free hand on your lower back to prevent it from assisting the movement.
3. Engage your core and glutes to keep your body in a straight line and prevent your hips from sagging or twisting.
4. Inhale as you slowly lower your body towards the ground by bending your supporting elbow, maintaining a tight and controlled descent.
5. Lower your chest until it nearly touches the floor, keeping your elbow close to your body throughout the movement.
6. Exhale as you push through your palm, straightening your elbow, and returning to the raised position.
7. Complete the desired number of reps on one side before switching to the other arm.
Tips:<br>- Ensure you keep your body straight and prevent your hips from dropping to avoid strain on your lower back.<br>- If a single arm push-up is too difficult, you can work up to it by performing the exercise with your knees on the ground or by using an inclined surface to place your supporting hand.<br>- Always focus on quality over quantity; perform each rep with proper form and full control.
