Hand release push-ups are a dynamic variation of the traditional push-up that emphasize full range of motion and muscular engagement. This exercise requires you to lower your body to the ground, lift your hands off the floor briefly, and then push back up. It targets the chest, shoulders, triceps, and core, promoting strength and stability.

1. Start in a high plank position with your hands directly under your shoulders and your body forming a straight line from head to heels.
2. Lower your body to the ground, keeping your elbows close to your sides.
3. Once your chest touches the floor, lift your hands off the ground for a brief moment.
4. Place your hands back on the ground and push through your palms to lift your body back to the starting position.
5. Ensure your body remains in a straight line throughout the movement, engaging your core and glutes.
6. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions, maintaining control and form.
