Instructions

  1. 1

    Start in a high plank position with your hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart and your feet together.

  2. 2

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

  3. 3

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

  4. 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. 5

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

  6. 6

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

  7. 7

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