Instructions
Sitting Press Up on a Chair
Positioning:
1. Sit near the edge of the chair, keeping your feet flat on the floor and shoulder-width apart.
2. Place your hands on the edge of the chair beside your hips, fingers facing forward.
3. Sit up straight, engaging your core. Your back should be straight, and shoulders relaxed but not slouched.
Movement:
1. Press into the chair with your hands, lifting your body off the seat. Your arms should be straight, and your legs will remain bent at the knees, hovering just above the ground.
2. Hold this position for a moment, ensuring that your body forms a straight line from your shoulders to your knees.
3. Slowly lower your body back down to the chair without fully sitting down. Keep tension in your arms and core.
4. Repeat this pressing movement for 8-12 repetitions, maintaining controlled movements throughout.
Tips:
- Keep your shoulders away from your ears as you press up and down.
- Focus on using your arms and chest to lift your body rather than relying on your legs.
- If you feel discomfort in your wrists, consider changing the position of your hands or taking breaks.
