How to do Push-up
- Set up in a high-plank position with your hands slightly wider than shoulder width and arms locked.
- Brace your core, squeeze the glutes, and keep your body in a straight line from head to heels.
- Lower your chest slowly toward the floor over 2 to 3 seconds, keeping the elbows at about 45 degrees.
- Stop when your chest hovers just above the floor, holding the bottom briefly with full body tension.
- Press back up by driving the floor away through the palms until the arms reach full extension.
- Reset your breath and repeat for the full set, keeping the body line tight on every rep.
