Negative Push-Up
Step 1
Place both hands on the floor slightly further than shoulder-width apart and plant both feet together behind you, resting on the balls of your feet. Gently draw your ribs to your hips to engage your core. This is your starting position.
Step 2
Inhale. Taking a full three seconds, bend your elbows and lower your torso towards the floor until your arms form two 90-degree angles, ensuring that you maintain a straight back and an engaged your core.
Step 3
Exhale. Taking one second, push through your chest and extend your arms to lift your body back into the starting position. Repeat for the specified number of repetitions.
