Push Up

Intermediate Body Only ChestShouldersTriceps

How to do it

  1. Get on the floor on all fours, positioning your hands slightly wider than your shoulders. Extend your legs back so you are balanced on your hands and toes. Keep your body in a straight line from head to toe. This will be your starting position.
  2. As you breathe in, lower your body until your chest nearly touches the floor. Keep your elbows at a 45-degree angle to your body. Tip: Make sure your core is engaged and your body remains in a straight line throughout the movement.
  3. As you exhale, push your body back up to the starting position by fully extending your arms. Squeeze your chest at the top of the movement.
  4. Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.
