Step-by-step instructions

  1. 1

    Start on your hands and knees with your hands in fists on the floor, knuckles down, slightly wider than shoulder-width.

  2. 2

    Walk your hands forward slightly so your body forms a diagonal line from knees to head.

  3. 3

    Lower your chest toward the floor by bending your elbows.

  4. 4

    Press back up to the starting position.

  5. 5

    Repeat.

Notes

Keep your wrists straight and fists firmly planted. This is a great option for those building wrist strength or working around wrist discomfort.
