Pro Tip
**Maintain Proper Body Alignment**: Keep your body in a straight line from your head to your heels. Don't let your back sag or your buttocks stick up in the air. This is a common mistake that can lead to back or shoulder injuries. Engage your core to help maintain this alignment. **Controlled Movement**: Avoid rushing the push-up. Lower your body slowly and push back up to the starting position in a controlled manner. This ensures you're using your muscles, not momentum, to perform the exercise. A common mistake is to drop down quickly
