    Start with your body flat on the ground, hands and lower arms are also on the ground with your finger tips angled in pointing at your temples. The next step is to raise your entire body at the same time into a full pushup position. No starting with the arms and then raising the rest of the body but one smooth movement going to hands and toes at the same time. Does that help to visualize it? I can get into a plank position this way, just not a pushup. Yet
