1 & 1/4 Push-Up

How to perform it

Step-by-step instructions

1. 01Start in a high plank with your hands beneath or slightly wider than your shoulders and your body in a straight line from head to heels.
2. 02Bend your elbows and lower your chest toward the floor while keeping your trunk and hips rigid.
3. 03Press up through approximately the bottom quarter of the movement, then lower your chest toward the floor again under control.
4. 04Press all the way back to the high-plank position without allowing your hips to sag or your elbows to flare excessively.
5. 05Reset your plank before beginning the next repetition; the partial rise plus the full rise constitutes one repetition.
