Conseils techniques
Before you push up, tighten your abdominal muscles. This will help to protect your lower back and also engage your core during the exercise. A common mistake is to forget about the core and focus only on the upper body, which can lead to lower back pain.
Push up from your hands, extending your arms and lifting your upper body off the ground while keeping your hips and legs on the floor. Make sure to keep your elbows close to your body during this movement to avoid strain on the shoulders.
Lower yourself back to the starting position in a controlled manner. Do not let gravity do the work for you. A common mistake is to drop down too quickly, which can lead to injury.
