Three-Phase Push-Up
Step 1
Place both hands on the mat slightly further than shoulder-width apart and feet together on the mat behind you while resting on the balls of your feet. This is your starting position.
Step 2
Inhaling in three distinct phases, set your T-zone and bend your elbows to lower your torso towards the mat until your arms form two 90-degree angles. Like your breath, you should be lowering your torso in three-distinct phases, ensuring that your spine is in a neutral position.
Step 3
Exhale. In one continuous breath, push through your chest and extend your elbows to lift your body back into the starting position. Repeat for the specified number of repetitions.
