Single Arm Push-up exercise guide

1. Assume the standard push-up position: prone, feet together, hands on the floor just below the level of your shoulders and about shoulders width apart. Move your feet apart, a little more than shoulders width.

2. Lift one hand and rest it on the small of your back.

3. Using the other hand, push your body up from the floor keeping your back straight . Stop just  before you "Lock out" your elbow at the top of the movement.

4. Lower your body with the one arm to maintain your balance, turn your torso slightly away from the pushing arm.

5. Continue lowering yourself until  your chin is about a fist's width above the floor. since you angled your torso, your chin should be about where the hand you now have behind your back was when you started the exercise. This is one repetition.

6. Go back to step one and repeat using your other arm.
