Diamond Pushups
Starting Posture
Start in a push-up position with your hands close together, forming a diamond shape by touching your thumbs and index fingers.
How to Exercise
Lower your body to the ground while keeping your elbows close to your sides. Push yourself back up to the starting position. Repeat until failure.
Breath Control
Inhale as you lower your body down and exhale as you push yourself back up.
Common errors
Avoid flaring your elbows out to the sides, as this can put unnecessary strain on your shoulders. Do not rush through the exercise; focus on controlled movements.
