Position yourself on the ground with legs fully extended and hands shoulder-width apart at the level of your chest.
Exhale and forcefully press yourself up by extending your arms.
Continue pressing as hard as you can so that you leave the ground.
Upon leaving the ground, inhale and clap your hands together before quickly returning them to the push up position. Keep your head shrugged back to protect your face in case you can't catch yourself in time.
Catch yourself with your hands and lower yourself down, returning to the starting position.
