Clapping Push-Up Start in a plank position with your arms and legs straight, shoulders above the wrists, core engaged. Take a breath in, and as you exhale, slowly bend your elbows, lowering your entire body to the floor. Push through your palms to create enough momentum to lift your hands off the ground. With your hands close to your chest, perform a clap before returning back to the ground. Be sure to bring your hands back underneath your shoulders as you return to the ground. This counts as one rep. Note: when lowering to the ground, do your best not to collapse. If this move is too advanced, perform it on your knees in a modified push-up position.
