Make every rep count.
- 01
Start on all fours with hands under shoulders, toes tucked, and knees under hips. Step one leg back at a time into a strong plank: legs straight, core tight, head neutral (eyes on the floor).
- 02
Lower with control: pull your shoulder blades back/down and bend your elbows. Keep your body in one line—don’t let hips sag.
- 03
Descend until your upper arms are about parallel to the floor (or chest lightly touches).
- 04
Explode up: drive your palms hard into the ground and snap your elbows straight so your hands briefly leave the floor.
- 05
Land softly with elbows slightly bent, absorb the impact, reset your plank, and go right into the next rep.
- 06
Tip: If airtime is too challenging, perform an explosive push-up without leaving the floor or use an incline.
