Pulsing Elbows Tucked

Choose your desired press-up position, dependent upon your fitness level, making sure that you keep your elbows tucked into your sides throughout the movement.

Keep your hands facing forward with your wrists underneath your shoulders, lower yourself down towards the floor in a smooth controlled manor, ideally in 2 inch movements, smoothly lowering and raising all the way up and down.

Avoid letting the elbows come away from your sides, as this is a good exercise for the triceps, as they are used in both the lowering under control phase, and to lift the body back up. If you allow your elbows to come out to the sides, then you will begin to work your chest muscles.

You may wish to perform the pulsing movement in either the lower or middle part of the exercise, for a desired amount of reps.

Arching of the spine and forcing your bottom into the air should be avoided.
