How to do the Body-Up

  1. 1

    Assume a plank position on the ground. You should be supporting your bodyweight on your toes and forearms, keeping your torso straight. Your forearms should be shoulder-width apart. This will be your starting position.

  2. 2

    Pressing your palms firmly into the ground, extend through the elbows to raise your body from the ground. Keep your torso rigid as you perform the movement.

  3. 3

    Slowly lower your forearms back to the ground by allowing the elbows to flex.

  4. 4

    Repeat.
