Scap Push-ups
Starting Posture
Start in a plank position with your hands directly under your shoulders and your body in a straight line from head to heels.
How to Exercise
Lower your body by bending your elbows, leading with your chest towards the ground. Keep your core engaged and your body in a straight line throughout the movement. Push through your hands to return to the starting position.
Breath Control
Inhale as you lower your body towards the ground and exhale as you push back up to the starting position.
Common errors
Common errors include letting the hips sag, not lowering the body all the way down, and allowing the shoulder blades to wing out. Be sure to correct these errors to maximize the effectiveness of the exercise.

Comments and tips
Focus on keeping your shoulder blades engaged and squeezed together throughout the movement. Avoid letting your hips dip or arch during the exercise. Keep your core tight to maintain proper form.
Cautions
Avoid excessive arching of the lower back or rounding of the shoulders. If you experience any pain or discomfort, stop the exercise immediately.
