Level: Intermediate
Muscles: Pectoralis, Triceps
Equipment: None

Instructions:

Step 1: Position yourself on the ground as if you were doing a regular pushup. Instead of having your hands slightly wider than shoulder width apart, you want to bring both your hands together towards the center of your chest. Now try to form the shape of a diamond with both your index fingers and thumbs connecting from each hand. You want to also maintain a straight and rigid torso.

Step 2: Now all you have to do is lower your chest towards to ground slowly and push back up off the ground and repeat. You can make this exercise harder by elevating your feet with a bench or chair.

Safety Tips:
This exercise is stressful on the wrists. If you have bad wrists we recommend that you skip this exercise all together to avoid injury.
