"O.k. so this is funny. This is the position I had to start in. Alright you ready. We have an elevated push-up. Now this is something to work towards. This works your chest, your triceps, and biceps. Pretty much your whole upper body. Your back as well. Go straight down and up. Notice that I have grabbed my weights. Remember that tip I gave you about helping with your wrists. If you can do eight of these, great. If you bring them in close grip, what are we working? Answer triceps close grip. Now if I take my foot down and I simply walk this out and I take it really wide. I can do it this way. I can do my legs wide. I can take my knees down. Let's go from the advanced to more beginning push-up. Simply by going down here where you have close, you have wide, you even have a staggered grip. Which looks like this. One is a little bit more elevated and you can do that on a bigger platform. Anyway you look at a push-up its one of the best exercises. Because as you can hear I'm out of breath and if your doing three sets of those you can elevate it. Oh my goodness your heart rate is going to go up. and once again the goal you burn calories and we work our muscles. And that is what your going to do with just about any push-up so get used to it. You need to do them. You got to have them."
