Difficulty: Moderate to Advanced
Start: Lie down on stomach. Then, begin by propping upper body up onto elbows/forearms, with hands together in prayer position. Engage inner abdominal muscles by bringing belly button inward. Keeping spine steady, lift hips and knees so you are resting on toes, creating a straight line from ankles to shoulders.
Exercise: Keeping spine steady, lift one arm and place hand/arm in push-up position. Then, keeping torso as steady as possible, push up so both hands/arms are in final push-up position. Pause, then lower back down to your elbows, keeping your torso steady throughout movement. For next repetition, start with opposite hand/arm. Perform 3-5 repetitions per side. Be careful not to strain lower back.
