- Maintain a straight line from your head to your heels. Avoid sagging your hips or sticking your buttocks up in the air.
- Engage your core muscles throughout the movement to protect your back and improve strength.
- Keep your elbows tucked closer to your body, forming an angle of about 45 degrees. This reduces stress on the shoulders and activates the chest muscles more effectively.
- Inhale as you lower your body towards the ground and exhale as you push back up. This helps maintain a consistent rhythm and improves oxygen flow.
- Lower your body until your chest nearly touches the ground to maximize muscle activation and ensure a full range of motion.
- Perform push-ups in a controlled manner, focusing on the quality of each rep rather than speed. This enhances muscle engagement and reduces the risk of injury.
- If you're a beginner, start with modified push-ups on your knees or incline push-ups using a bench or elevated surface.
- For advanced variations, try diamond push-ups, decline push-ups, or one-handed push-ups to add challenges and target different muscle groups.
- Always include a proper warm-up before starting your push-up routine and cool down with stretches afterward. This prevents injury and aids in muscle recovery.
- Consistency is key. Incorporate push-ups into your regular workout routine, gradually increasing the number of reps and sets as you build strength.

- Check Wrists and Elbows: Align your wrists directly under your shoulders, and ensure your elbows are not locked.
- Too challenging? Drop to your knees but keep the straight line from your shoulders to your knees.
- Too easy? Try lifting one leg at a time or switch to a side plank for added difficulty.
- Start by holding the plank for 20-30 seconds and gradually increase your time as your strength improves.
- Focus on Quality over Quantity: It’s better to hold a proper plank for a shorter duration than to hold a poor form for longer. Quality trumps quantity.
- Use a Mirror for Feedback: When possible, perform the plank in front of a mirror to ensure proper form. This can help you catch and correct misalignments.
- Incorporate Planks into Your Routine: Use planks as part of your warm-up or cool-down routine to build core strength systematically.

Exercise tips and tricks
- Master Basic Movements: Before attempting full burpees, ensure you have a solid foundation in push-ups, plank holds, and squat jumps. Mastering these movements will make your burpees smoother and more efficient.
- Controlled Descent: When lowering your body to the ground, focus on controlling your descent rather than dropping down too quickly. This can help prevent injuries and make the transition smoother.
- Engage Core: Keep your core engaged throughout the movement to protect your spine and increase stability. This will help you perform the exercise more efficiently and with better form.
- Breathing Technique: Breathe in during the jump and breathe out when you hit the plank position. Proper breathing helps in maintaining stamina and ensuring a consistent heart rate.
- Modify if Necessary: If you're just starting out or find the movement too challenging, modify your burpees by stepping back into the plank position instead of jumping or by removing the jump at the end.
- Pace Yourself: Don’t rush through your burpees. Maintain a steady, controlled pace to ensure you're performing each segment of the movement correctly. Speed can come once you have mastered the form.
- Foot Placement: When jumping forward from the plank position, land with your feet outside your hands for better stability. This wider stance provides a solid base for the upward jump.
- Soft Landing: When you jump at the end of the burpee, focus on landing softly to reduce impact on your joints. This can help prevent injuries, particularly to your knees and ankles.
- Arm Position: Keep your hands shoulder-width apart when placing them on the ground. This provides a stable base and ensures your shoulders, wrists, and elbows are aligned properly.

Exercise tips and tricks
- Proper Alignment: Make sure your body forms a straight line from your shoulders to your knees at the peak of the movement. Keep your core engaged to maintain proper alignment and avoid arching your lower back.
- Foot Placement: Position your supporting foot close to your glutes to maximize glute activation. The closer your heel is to your glutes, the more you engage the glute muscles.
- Heel Drive: Drive through the heel of your supporting foot rather than the toes. This ensures you're targeting your glutes and hamstrings more effectively.
- Breath Control: Exhale as you lift your hips and inhale as you lower them. Proper breathing helps maintain a consistent rhythm and ensures adequate oxygen delivery to your muscles.
- Control Your Movements: Avoid using momentum. Focus on slow, controlled lifts and descents to fully engage the glutes and hamstrings. This increases muscle activation and reduces the risk of injury.
- Hip Extension: Fully extend your hips at the top of the movement, squeezing your glutes for maximum contraction. Avoid overextending your lower back; the movement should come from your hips.
- Knee Tracking: Keep the knee of your supporting leg aligned over your foot. Your knee should not cave inward or splay outward.
- Upper Body Stability: Press your arms and shoulders firmly into the ground to stabilize your upper body. This helps maintain balance and focus the work on your glutes.
- Progression and Variation: Once you master the single-leg glute bridge, you can increase the difficulty by holding a weight on your hips, or performing the exercise on an elevated surface to increase the range of motion.
- Mind-Muscle Connection: Focus on feeling your glutes working throughout the exercise. Visualize the muscles contracting and relaxing with each repetition to enhance muscle engagement and effectiveness.

Exercise tips and tricks
- Proper Alignment: Make sure your body forms a straight line from your shoulders to your knees at the peak of the movement. Keep your core engaged to maintain proper alignment and avoid arching your lower back.
- Foot Placement: Position your supporting foot close to your glutes to maximize glute activation. The closer your heel is to your glutes, the more you engage the glute muscles.
- Heel Drive: Drive through the heel of your supporting foot rather than the toes. This ensures you're targeting your glutes and hamstrings more effectively.
- Breath Control: Exhale as you lift your hips and inhale as you lower them. Proper breathing helps maintain a consistent rhythm and ensures adequate oxygen delivery to your muscles.
- Control Your Movements: Avoid using momentum. Focus on slow, controlled lifts and descents to fully engage the glutes and hamstrings. This increases muscle activation and reduces the risk of injury.
- Hip Extension: Fully extend your hips at the top of the movement, squeezing your glutes for maximum contraction. Avoid overextending your lower back; the movement should come from your hips.
- Knee Tracking: Keep the knee of your supporting leg aligned over your foot. Your knee should not cave inward or splay outward.
- Upper Body Stability: Press your arms and shoulders firmly into the ground to stabilize your upper body. This helps maintain balance and focus the work on your glutes.
