How to do it
- Set up in a push-up position with hands under your shoulders.
- Lower your chest toward the floor with your body in a line.
- Push up explosively so your hands leave the ground.
- Clap your hands together quickly in the air.
- Land softly with bent elbows and reset for the next rep.
Beginner tips
- Land softly with bent elbows to absorb the impact.
- Keep reps low and crisp, quality over quantity.
- Rest fully between reps so each push stays explosive.
Keep in mind: Build a base of strength before adding plyometrics.
