How to do it

- Push back up to the starting position.
- Bend your left elbow to lower your chest towards your left hand while keeping your right arm extended straight to the side. Continue alternating sides.
Keep in mind

- Use a slow and steady breathing pattern, exhaling as you push up and inhaling as you lower down.
- Keep your gaze slightly forward to maintain a neutral spine and avoid neck strain.
