How to Perform

1
Start in a high plank position with your hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart and your feet together.
2
Lower your chest towards the ground, keeping your elbows close to your body.
3
Once your chest is just above the ground, explosively push yourself up, lifting your hands off the ground.
4
As you push up, quickly move your hands out to the sides and slightly forward, allowing your body to drop down towards the ground.
5
Catch yourself with your hands in the wider position and immediately lower your chest towards the ground again.
6
Repeat the push-up motion, dropping down and catching yourself with your hands in the narrower position.
7
Continue alternating between the wider and narrower hand positions for the desired number of repetitions.
