CLOSE UP OF HANDS

Adapt a suitable press-up position dependant upon your fitness level, either with your knees on the floor, or a full press-up position.

Commence the exercise with your arms straight, with your hands underneath your upper chest, avoid having your hands to far forward, as this will place more emphasis on your shoulder muscles.

Smoothly lower your chest down to your hands, taking your elbows out to your sides keeping your body and legs straight.

Aim to hold in the lowered position for 1 – 2 seconds prior to straightening the arms and repeating again for the desired amount of reps.
