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