How to perform it
Start in a high plank position with your hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart. Lower your chest towards the ground by bending your elbows, keeping your body in a straight line. Push explosively off the ground, using your chest muscles to propel your upper body off the ground. Land softly with your hands back in the starting position. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
