Coach's Tips

Step box push-ups are a variation where you place your hands on a box. The angle change reduces shoulder strain and targets your chest differently.

1. Prepare a step box or a sturdy box and place it on the floor.

2. Spread your arms shoulder-width apart and place them on the step box, extending your legs back into a plank position.

3. Keep your body in a straight line from your head to your toes.

1. Bend your elbows and slowly lower your body until your chest is close to the step box.

2. Feel the tension in your chest, pause, and then push your body back up to the starting position by extending your arms.

3. Engage your core throughout the movement to keep your body from bending.

4. Repeat with a steady rhythm.

Inhale when lowering your body, and exhale when raising your body.

1. Place the box on a non-slip mat or against the wall to prevent it from sliding.

2. Engage your abdomen and hips to avoid bending your waist.

3. If you feel discomfort in your wrists, adjust the angle or proceed at a lower height.
