How to perform it
Start in a push-up position with your hands shoulder-width apart and your feet spread wide apart. Engage your core and slowly shift your weight forward, bringing your shoulders over your hands. Bend your elbows and lower your body towards the ground, keeping your elbows close to your sides. Pause for a moment at the bottom, then push through your hands to straighten your arms and lift your body back up to the starting position. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
