Start Position

1. Begin in a plank stance on the ground with your hands slightly wider than your shoulders.

2. Position a weight, like a dumbbell, on your back.

Proper Form

1. Bend your elbows, lowering your body until your chest is near the floor.

2. Hold briefly, then push your body back to the starting position.

Breathing Technique

1. Inhale as you lower yourself and exhale as you push back up.

Precautions

1. Maintain core engagement throughout the exercise.

2. Avoid arching your back or allowing your hips to drop while lowering.

3. Remove the weight and do regular push-ups if it's too heavy.
