  2. Place the hands on the floor, palms down, ~ 2 to 3 inches wider than shoulder-width apart with the elbows pointed outward.
  3. Keeping the core engaged (torso should remain in a straight line) push against the floor with the hands to fully extend the elbows.
  4. After completing the push-up phase, lower the body by allowing the elbows to flex to a 90° angle (or a position where the chest is hovering 1-2" above the ground).
