Conseils techniques
Lower your body towards the floor, keeping your elbows close to your body. Once you're in a low push-up position, tap your left shoulder with your right hand. Return your hand to the floor, push up to the starting position, and then tap your right shoulder with your left hand. This is one repetition. Avoid rushing the movement; slow, controlled movements are key to performing this exercise effectively and safely.
One common mistake is to let the hips sway or rotate when tapping the shoulder. To avoid this, engage your core muscles throughout the exercise. This will not only make the exercise more effective but also protect your lower back.
