Press Up

Go down onto the floor placing your hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart and directly underneath your shoulders. Now go up onto your toes so that your body is completely straight from your feet to your head.

Make sure that you draw your stomach in to help keep your body straight.

Lower your body down by bending your arms. When your arms have reached 90 degrees at the elbow you have gone as low as you need to.

Push up until your arms are straight but not so much that your elbows are locked out.


Do's Don'ts
  • Do keep your body completely straight
  • Do draw your stomach in to help support your body and keep it straight
  • Do breathe out on the way up and in on the way down
  • Do press up when your elbows reach 90 degrees
  • Do keep your feet close together
  • Don't have your hips higher than your shoulder line
  • Don't let your hips sag down
  • Don't hold your breath
