Standard Press Up

Place your hands underneath your shoulders with fingers facing forward, aiming to keep your wrist - elbow and shoulders inline at the start of the exercise. 

START

FINISH

Bend at your elbows, lowering your chest down, no lower than 2 inches from the floor, keeping your head inline with your spine, looking slightly forward throughout the movement. Avoid dropping your head down towards the floor.

Aim to make a right angle with your arms, holding for a split second, then return back to your starting position.

Keep a straight line through your spine, avoiding forcing your bottom into the air, and also arching of the back.

The rhythm should be smooth, with one push every 2 seconds.
