This is one of my favorite progressions as you work toward your first push-up. You’ll improve motor control, increase strength, and build confidence as you lower through the complete range of motion.

How to do push-downs:

1. Get into a plank position on your hands. Lift your core and actively press into the floor with your hands and shoulders.

2. Maintaining your active core and shoulder position, lower as far as you can with control. When you reach the end of your controlled movement. Collapse onto the ground.

3. Press up by coming into a child’s pose before repeating the movement.
