Prone Press-Up

Start by laying on your stomach so hips are resting on the floor and elbows are bent to 90 degrees, hands beside you. Push your trunk up, straightening your arms. Try to keep your hips on the floor. Your back and lower body are relaxed. Options can include you just resting in a "Tummy Time" position. Or resting up on your elbows. If you are at work or on the go, you can get similar effects by putting your hands on your desk or counter with your feet back behind you and dropping your hips toward the desk or counter. Ask for help to learn this if you would like. Be conscientious about this exercise if you have significant stenosis or anteriolisthesis in your spine. It's great exercise but we want you to listen to your body.
