Push Up
Overall chestAbout
It's a most famous, and at the same time highly effective, body weight exercise. If you put your hands further apart, you can target the outside of your pecs.
How to Push Up
Starting Position
1. Please lie down with your arms slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.
2. Engage your core to keep your body in a straight line.
Proper Form
1. Please lower yourself until your chest is just about to touch the floor.
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 when bending your arms, and exhale when 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.
