Place your hands slightly wider than shoulder width apart
Engage your core (abs, glutes, and thighs) throughout the entire exercise
Make sure that your head, shoulders and butt are in a straight line
Keep your elbows at about a 45 degree angle
Descend in a controlled manner until your chest is touching the floor
“Release” your hands off of the floor
Place your hands back on the floor underneath your shoulders and “push the floor away” locking your elbows out at the top
