How to do it
- Place your hands on the edge of a sturdy table, bed or bench, a little wider than your shoulders.
- Walk your feet back until your body is in a straight line from head to heels.
- Bend your elbows and lower your chest towards the edge.
- Push back up until your arms are straight.
Breathing: Breathe in as you lower, breathe out as you push up.
How much to start with: 2–3 sets × 8–15 reps
❌ Common mistakes
- Letting your lower back sag.
- Flaring your elbows straight out.
⚠️ Safety
- Make sure the table or bed cannot slide or tip over. Don't use anything with wheels.
