Wide Arm Press Up

Take hands wider than normal, ideally two shoulder widths apart, working your chest and shoulder muscles through a different range of movement in order to create all-round upper body strength.

START	FINISH

Aim to keep your wrists facing forwards, with your fingers wide apart. You may decide to perform this movement in a variety of positions, such as full - three quarters or box press up position.

Lower your chest down, no lower than two inches from the floor, taking your elbows out to your side in order to maximize the benefits to your chest muscles.

Avoid arching your back, or lifting your bottom in the air, focus on keeping the movement smooth and under control, performing 1 press up every 2 seconds.
