How to do it

Take a push-up position with your hands set much wider than your shoulders, fingers pointing slightly outward.
Lower your chest toward one hand, bending that elbow while the opposite arm stays straight and slides into a supporting position.
Press back up through the working arm to return to the start.
Alternate sides, keeping the hips level and the core tight.
