Pro Tip
**Avoid Sagging or Arching Your Back**: A common mistake is to either sag or arch your back during a push-up. This can lead to back pain and limit the effectiveness of the exercise. Always keep your body in a straight line during the entire movement. **Control Your Movement**: Don't rush the push-ups. Lower your body towards the ball in a controlled manner, then push your body back up to the starting position. This will ensure you're using your muscles, not momentum, to do the exercise. **Keep Your Elbows Close to Your Body**: Another common mistake is flaring out the elbows during the push-up. This can put unnecessary stress on your shoulders. Instead, keep your elbows close
