Description:
  1. From standing reach hands towards the ground.  This requires good hamstring flexibility and hip mobility.  All small bend at the knees is permitted for those with limited range but every effort should be made to eventually improve flexibility.
  2. Once hands have reached the floor, engage the intrinsic core as you walk forward to a starting push-up position with hands under the shoulders.
  3. Complete a push-up while maintaining a neutral pelvis and engaged core.
  4. Reverse the steps.
  5. Repeat.
Common Error(s): Sagging lower back | Not engaging core
