  2. 2

    Walk your hands forward slightly so your body forms a diagonal line from knees to head.

  3. 3

    Lower your chest toward the floor by bending your elbows.

  4. 4

    Press back up to the starting position.

  5. 5

    Repeat.

Notes

Ensure the dumbbells are stable before you begin. Keep your core engaged and your body in a straight diagonal line throughout the movement.
