Planche Leans
Starting Posture
Start in a push-up position with your hands positioned slightly wider than shoulder-width apart, fingers pointed forward, and arms straight.
How to Exercise
Slowly lower your chest towards the ground, keeping your elbows close to your body. Hold the lowest point for 2-3 seconds, then push back up to the starting position. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Breath Control
Inhale as you lower your body towards the ground, exhale as you push back up.
Common errors
Swinging your body or rushing the movement can reduce the effectiveness of the exercise. Make sure to perform the lean with control.
Weights
No weights are needed for this exercise, as it is bodyweight only.
Grips
Use a comfortable grip on the floor, ensuring your hands are securely planted and fingers spread out for stability.
Variations
To increase the difficulty, perform the exercise on parallettes or elevate your feet on a box. To decrease the difficulty, perform the lean on your knees instead of toes.
