How to do it

  1. 1Start in a high plank position with your hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart and your feet together.

  3. 3Once your chest is just above the ground, explosively push yourself up, lifting your hands off the ground.
  4. 4As you push up, quickly move your hands out to the sides and slightly forward, allowing your body to drop down towards the ground.
  5. 5Catch yourself with your hands in the wider position and immediately lower your chest towards the ground again.
