- A fitness exercise begins in a push-up position and uses a line on the floor as a guide.
- The exercise aims to develop muscular strength and coordination.
- It should be performed on a non-slip surface with enough space on both sides of the line.
Find a line on the floor, whether it is on a sports court, between tiles, on a parquet floor or in a gym. If necessary, make one with tape.
The exercise starts in a push-up position. A non-slip surface is essential, and you need enough space in front of and behind the line. Anyone who can hold a push-up plank can use the hand walk across the line as an addition to a training plan.
The movement is presented as a playful way to work on muscle strength and coordination. The article also addresses how to perform it correctly, which muscles it trains and which mistakes to avoid.
