How to perform

1. 1

   Start in a push-up position with your hands shoulder-width apart and one hand placed slightly wider than the other.

2. 2

   Engage your core and lower your body towards the ground by bending your elbows, keeping your back straight.

3. 3

   As you lower yourself, shift your weight to one side and lift the opposite arm off the ground, extending it straight out to the side.

4. 4

   Push through your chest and triceps to raise your body back up to the starting position, while simultaneously lowering your extended arm back to the ground.

5. 5

   Repeat the movement, alternating the arm you extend with each repetition.
