Instructions

  2. Step 2: Lower your chest towards the ground, keeping your elbows close to your body.

  3. Step 3: Once your chest is just above the ground, explosively push yourself up, lifting your hands off the ground.

  4. Step 4: As you push up, quickly move your hands out to the sides and slightly forward, allowing your body to drop down towards the ground.

  5. Step 5: Catch yourself with your hands in the wider position and immediately lower your chest towards the ground again.

  6. Step 6: Repeat the push-up motion, dropping down and catching yourself with your hands in the narrower position.

  7. Step 7: Continue alternating between the wider and narrower hand positions for the desired number of repetitions.
