Clap Pushups
Starting Posture
Start in a traditional push-up position with your hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.
How to Exercise
Begin by lowering your body towards the ground as you would in a regular push-up. As you push your body back up, explode off the ground and clap your hands together before landing back in the starting position. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Breath Control
Inhale as you lower your body towards the ground and exhale as you push yourself back up and clap your hands together.
Common errors
Some common errors include not fully extending your arms at the top of the movement, neglecting to engage your core muscles, and performing the exercise too quickly without control.

Comments and tips
Make sure to engage your core muscles throughout the exercise to maintain good form and stability. It's important to use powerful and explosive movements to complete the clap push-ups successfully. Start with regular push-ups to build up strength before attempting clap push-ups.
Cautions
Avoid arching your back or letting your hips sag during the exercise. If you experience any pain or discomfort, stop the exercise immediately. Ensure you have enough space around you to perform clap push-ups safely.
