Your feet should be flat on the floor and your head in a neutral position, looking down. Hold a dumbbell in one hand. Let your arm hang straight down from your shoulder with the dumbbell in a neutral grip (palm facing inwards). Execution: Begin the movement by raising your arm out to the side until it is at shoulder height. Keep a slight bend in your elbow to reduce stress on your joints. Your palm should face the floor as you lift the weight. Control the movement: Lift the weight in a controlled manner, avoiding momentum or swinging. Focus on using your lateral deltoid muscle to lift the weight. Pause briefly at the top: Once your arm reaches shoulder height, pause for a brief moment. Ensure your shoulder remains level and your body stays stable on the bench. Lower the dumbbell slowly: Lower the weight back to the starting position in a controlled manner. Maintain the slight bend in your elbow and avoid letting the dumbbell drop quickly.

Keep your legs as straight as possible without locking your knees. Lower your hands to the floor in front of your feet, allowing your spine to lengthen as you fold forward. Once your hands reach the floor, begin walking them forward away from your body. Keep your legs straight as you walk your hands out, moving into a plank position. Continue walking your hands forward until your body is fully extended in a plank position, with your hands directly under your shoulders and your body forming a straight line from head to heels. Perform a push-up by bending your elbows and lowering your chest towards the floor. Keep your body in a straight line from head to heels throughout the movement. Lower your chest as close to the floor as you can while maintaining proper form. Your elbows should bend to approximately 90 degrees.

Once you've completed the push-up, reverse the movement by walking your hands back towards your feet, keeping your legs straight as you walk your hands back. Continue walking your hands back until your body is fully extended, and your hands are once again at your feet. Once your hands are back at your feet, slowly roll your spine back up to a standing position, one vertebra at a time, until you're fully upright.
