Diamond Push up
Equipment
Lower your body by bending your elbows, keeping your back straight and your core engaged, until your chest is just above the floor.
Make sure your elbows are close to your body and not flaring out, this will ensure you are working your triceps and chest effectively.
Push your body back up to the starting position, keeping your body straight and maintaining the diamond shape with your hands.
Repeat this movement for your desired number of repetitions, making sure to keep your form correct throughout the exercise.
Pro Tip
Maintain Body Alignment: Keep your body in a straight line from your head to your heels. Avoid letting your hips sag or your butt stick up in the air, as this can place undue stress on your lower back and shoulders. A common mistake is to forget about the lower body and allow it to sag or pike, which can lead to poor form and potential injury. Control Your Movement: Lower your body slowly and push back up with control. Avoid rushing the movement or using momentum to push yourself back up. This is a common mistake that can lead to injury and reduces the effectiveness of the exercise
