3. Push combo

   

   Begin in the starting position, lying face down on your stomach. Put your arms and hands in pushup position (choose wide or narrow), strong posture and activate the abdominal support. Keep body tight - keep knees, thighs, torso in a straight line. Push away from the floor, up to almost straight arms. Move the butt toward your heels to get into the stretch exercise child pose (common in yoga). Lower the butt toward the heels and the chest toward the floor as you extend your arms forward, above the head. Take a deep breath, keep abs strong, activate pelvic floor muscles and lengthen the spine. Reverse the exercise, come back up to straight arms and lower in control.
