- Secondly, move your palms toward your mid-line, and make the diamond shape with the help of touching your thumb and the index fingers of both hands.
- Go lower down yourself, and make the 45-degree angle with the elbows. And lower yourself down as far as you can go or we can say until your chest reaches the floor.
- And when your chest reaches the floor then push yourself back up to the start. This is the first rep.
