Plyo Push Up

A 200-characters-or-less explanation of the exercise.

Instructions

• Start in a traditional push-up position.
• Lower your body as in a push-up, then explode upwards, allowing your hands to leave the floor.
• Catch yourself as you return to the push-up position, softening the landing with your arms.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Not engaging the core, leading to poor form.
• Landing too hard on the hands, increasing injury risk.
• Failing to explode upwards sufficiently, minimizing the plyometric benefit.
