Diamond Push-Up

Description

The diamond push-up is an effective exercise that targets the triceps, chest, and shoulders. Here’s how to do it:

  1. Start in a standard push-up position with your hands placed close together directly under your chest, forming a diamond shape with your thumbs and index fingers.
  2. Keep your body in a straight line from head to heels, engaging your core.
  3. Lower your body towards the ground by bending your elbows, keeping them close to your body.
  4. Go as low as you can while maintaining proper form, ideally until your chest nearly touches your hands.
  5. Push through your hands to extend your arms and return to the starting position.
  6. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
