Start in plank position with your legs straight or knees resting on the floor.
If your knees aren't on the floor, then you can separate your feet so they're about shoulder-width apart to help you stay balanced throughout the exercise.
Place your hands together directly under your sternum, with the tips of your index fingers touching and thumbs touching. Your fingers and thumbs should form a diamond or triangle shape.
As you inhale, bend your elbows out to the sides, and lower your chest toward the floor. Then exhale to straighten your arms. This counts as one push-up. Do two sets of 12 push-ups.
