Start in a push-up position and take a step forward with your hand. As you do so bring your opposite leg up to your behind arm on the outside as you lower into a push-up. Repeat this pattern on the opposite side and for the desired reps.

Cues:

  • Stay level and move leg to outside without twisting your body

  • Leg touching elbow is ok, but do not allow elbow to bear weight

  • Move smoothly and with great control

Scale: 

  • Allow foot to rest on ground each step

  • Rest knee on top of elbow as you descend

Errors:

  • Twisting body to help lift leg further

  • Abbreviating ROM
