How to: Push-up in Child Pose
- Start in a child pose position, with your knees on the ground and your arms extended in front of you.
- Lower your body towards the ground by bending your elbows while keeping your hips elevated.
- Push through your hands to lift your body back to the starting position.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Common Mistakes
- Letting the hips sag or rise too high.
- Not lowering the body all the way to the ground.
- Rounding the back instead of keeping it straight.
Modifications
- Perform the push-up on your knees to reduce intensity.
- Use a wall to practice a standing push-up for added support.
Tips
- Keep your back straight and your core engaged throughout the movement.
- Focus on maintaining a steady rhythm rather than rushing through the repetitions.
- Ensure your elbows are at a 45-degree angle from your body.
