Pushup/Modified Push Up

Begin by placing your hands on the floor slightly wider than shoulder-width apart and extending your legs behind you so your body forms a straight line from head to heels. Engage your core, squeeze your glutes, and keep your neck neutral as you lower your chest toward the ground by bending your elbows at about a 45-degree angle from your torso. Maintain a stable, plank-like position throughout the descent, avoiding any sagging or arching of your lower back. Lower yourself until your chest is just above the floor or as far as your mobility allows, then press through your palms to return to the starting position while keeping your body aligned. Focus on smooth, controlled movement and consistent tension through your core and upper body for each repetition.
