Steps

  1. 1 Place your hands on the floor slightly wider than shoulder-width apart, fingers pointing forward.
  2. 2 Elevate your feet on a sturdy surface like a bench or box, ensuring your body forms a straight line from head to heels.
  3. 3 Lift one leg off the elevated surface, extending it straight back or slightly bent, maintaining a stable core.
  4. 4 Engage your core and glutes to keep your body rigid and prevent your hips from sagging.
  5. 5 Lower your chest towards the floor by bending your elbows, keeping them close to your body.
  6. 6 Continue lowering until your chest is just above the floor or your upper arms are parallel to the floor.
  7. 7 Push through your hands to extend your arms and return to the starting position, maintaining the single-leg and decline posture.
