Close-hands push-up

How to do it

1. Full plank, hands close together under your chest, a little inside your shoulders.
2. Lower slowly, elbows brushing your ribs and pointing back.
3. Press the floor away until your arms are straight.

Common mistakes

• Elbows flare

  Elbows flaring out. Keep them brushing your ribs, pointing back.

• Hips sag

  Hips sagging. Squeeze your glutes and brace your belly, so you stay in one line.

• Head drops

  Head dropping. Keep your neck long and in line with your back.
