Stag Push Ups

 

Using a marker, such as a line or broom handle, will give good indication of your hand position.

START
place your hands either side of straight line marker
MIDDLE
keep your body and legs straight
FINISH OVERVIEW
lower down enabling your elbows to extend naturally outwards

Keep your hands facing forward with one wrist slightly forward and the other slightly back from your shoulders. Adopt a suitable press-up position dependant upon your fitness level - full ? or box position.

Lower yourself down towards the floor in a smooth controlled manner, ideally 2 inches away from the floor, allowing your elbows to follow a natural route away from your body.

Arching of the spine and forcing your bottom into the air should be avoided.
