Plank Elbow Push Instructions

  1. Start by getting into a plank position, with your forearms resting on the ground and your elbows directly under your shoulders.
  2. Ensure that your body forms a straight line from your head to your heels, engaging your core muscles.
  3. Push through your forearms and lift your body up, extending your arms fully. Keep your core engaged and your body in a straight line.
  4. Lower your body back down to the starting position by bending your elbows and returning to the plank position.
  5. Repeat the push-up motion by pushing through your forearms and extending your arms fully. Continue this movement for the desired number of repetitions.
