How to do Clapper Push Ups
Start in a standard push-up position with hands slightly wider than shoulder-width. Lower your body towards the ground, then explosively push up so that your hands leave the ground. Clap in mid-air before landing softly and carefully back in the push-up position.
Common mistakes
Avoid arching the lower back during the push-up. Ensure a full range of motion by going down until the chest is close to the ground.
Breathing
Inhale as you lower your body, exhale explosively as you push up and clap.
