How to Do a Standard Press Up

Standard press ups are good for your shoulders, triceps, chest, and abs. So, if you're trying to workout your upper body this exercise is a good start.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

1. Begin by kneeling down on the floor and resting forwards on your hands, making sure that your hands are just slightly wider than shoulder width apart.

2. Make sure to keep your spine and neck in line since this is very important, along with keeping your back straight and your stomach tucked in.

3. Lower your chest to the floor by bending at your elbows and then return to the starting position.

4. Repeat the entire process ten times, resting when necessary.

Tips & Warnings

• Never strain yourself, especially when doing press ups. Only do as many press ups as you can handle. You can always gradually build yourself up to doing more as time goes on.
