How to do it
- Start in a high plank and place your hands together under your chest so your index fingers and thumbs form a triangle.
- Brace your core and keep your body in one straight line.
- Lower your chest to your hands, keeping your elbows brushing past your sides.
- Press back to straight arms and squeeze the backs of your arms at the top.
Coaching cues
