Plyo push-up: how to do it

1 of 4

Plank, hands a bit wide

  1. Starting position

    Start in a plank with your hands slightly wider than your shoulders and keep your body straight from head to heels.

  2. The movement

    Lower your chest toward the floor, press explosively so your hands lift, and land softly before lowering again.

Most common mistake

Don't let your hips drop as you press, brace your core and keep your body straight throughout the movement.
