Conseils techniques

Controlled Movement

While performing the shoulder tap push-up, make sure to tap your shoulder gently with the opposite hand without twisting your hips. Many people make the mistake of rushing through the movement, but it's essential to maintain control throughout to engage the correct muscles and prevent injury.

Core Engagement

Engaging your core is key in this exercise. It helps stabilize your body and prevent your hips from swaying side to side. A common mistake is to neglect the core and focus only on the arm movement. This can lead to an ineffective workout and potential back injury.
