Hand release push-ups are a variation of the traditional push-up that focuses on enhancing strength and mobility in the chest, shoulders, and triceps, while also engaging the core. This exercise involves lifting your hands off the ground at the bottom of the movement, ensuring a full range of motion and promoting proper form.

1. Start in a standard push-up position with your hands placed slightly wider than shoulder-width apart and your body forming a straight line from head to heels.
2. Lower your body towards the ground by bending your elbows, keeping them close to your body.
3. Once your chest touches the floor, lift your hands off the ground for a brief moment to release tension.
4. Place your hands back on the ground and push through your palms to return to the starting position.
5. Ensure your core remains engaged throughout the movement to maintain proper alignment.
6. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions, focusing on controlled, smooth movements.
