How to Decline Push Up

Starting Position

1. Please place your feet on a surface higher than the floor and proceed.

2. Engage your hips and core to keep your body in a straight line.

Proper Form

1. Please lower down until just before your chest touches.

2. At this time, your forearms should be perpendicular to the floor.

3. Engage your chest and return to the starting position.

Breathing Technique

Inhale while bending your arms, and exhale while pushing your arms.

Precautions

1. Please go down only as much as you can without straining your shoulders.

2. Keep your core engaged to prevent your hips from dropping.
