- Start in a kneeling position with one hand placed firmly on the ground beneath your shoulder.
- Extend your other arm behind your back or at your side for balance.
- Keep your body straight from head to knees, then lower your chest towards the ground by bending your elbow.
- Push back to the starting position by straightening your arm, keeping your core engaged.
