01 / Steps

How to do it

  1. Perform a push-up.

  2. When you are in balance, stretch your arms to the maximum and tighten your abdomen, retracting your pelvis so that you are in a hollow position.

  3. Try to position your head almost between your arms, as if your biceps were next to your ears.

  4. This will ensure that your shoulders, hips, and ankles form a straight line and the plank is strict.

  5. Remember to point your toes.
