01 / Steps
How to do it
Perform explosive push-ups.
Lift your body so that you have time to give a clap in front of the trunk, another behind the back and another in front, all that before falling back to the ground.
At the beginning you can help yourself by advancing your feet a bit, so that they support you for longer in the air.
This help reduces the difficulty a lot, try to eliminate it over time.
