Elbow Push up

Equipment

1

Push yourself up from the floor using your arms and upper body strength, keeping your body straight and rigid, similar to the starting position of a traditional push-up.

2

Now, lower your body back down to the floor, but this time, instead of your chest touching the floor, your elbows should touch the floor first.

3

Push your body back up again using your arms, but this time, make sure that your elbows leave the floor last.

4

Repeat these movements for your desired number of repetitions, ensuring to maintain your body's rigidity and control throughout the exercise.

Pro Tip

Core Engagement: It's essential to engage your core throughout the exercise. This means tightening your abdominal muscles, which helps maintain a straight body line from your head to your heels. A common mistake is letting the hips sag or lift, which can lead to lower back pain and reduces the effectiveness of the exercise. Controlled Movements: Avoid rushing through the movements. Instead, lower your body slowly and in a controlled manner, then push back up with power. This will ensure that your muscles are fully engaged throughout the exercise and reduce the risk of injury.
