Movement notes
- Assume a push-up position, supporting your weight on your hands and toes while keeping your body straight. Your hands should be just outside of shoulder width. This will be your starting position.
- Begin by shifting your body weight as far to one side as possible, allowing the elbow on that side to flex as you lower your body.
- Reverse the motion by extending the flexed arm, pushing yourself up and then dropping to the other side.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
