How to perform it
Place your hands on an elevated surface, such as a bench or step, slightly wider than shoulder-width apart. Extend your legs behind you, resting on the balls of your feet, with your body forming a straight line from head to heels. Lower your chest towards the elevated surface by bending your elbows, keeping them close to your sides. Pause for a moment at the bottom, then push yourself back up to the starting position by straightening your arms. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
