Push-up on Forearms
Target Muscle
Secondary Muscles
Equipment
Keep your body straight and rigid from your head to your heels, forming a straight line. This is your starting position.
Lower your body towards the floor by bending your elbows, keeping your forearms in contact with the floor and your body straight.
Push through your forearms to lift your body back up to the starting position, while maintaining the straight line from your head to your heels.
Repeat these steps for your desired number of repetitions, ensuring to keep your body straight and your movements controlled throughout the exercise.
Pro Tip
Maintain Body Alignment: One common mistake is sagging or piking the hips. To avoid this, engage your core muscles throughout the exercise. This will not only help maintain a straight body alignment but also strengthen your abdominal muscles. Controlled Movement: Avoid rushing the exercise. Lower your body in a controlled manner until your chest is close to the floor. Then, push back up to the starting position. Quick, jerky movements can lead to improper form and potential injuries. Breathing Technique: Breathe in as you lower your body and breathe out as you push back up
