The most underrated exercise on the planet, the push up has made a bit of a comeback in the exercise and fitness milieu but it should NEVER have gone out of style.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Place your hands on the floor slightly wider than your shoulder blades elbows facing 45deg back, and set yourself up on your toes.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
From here, draw the belly in, inhale and slowly drop yourself down to the point where your chest comes close to the floor, pause for a fraction of a second. \u00a0Then, with a good effort, exhale and with a bit more speed push yourself back up without locking out the elbows!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Here is the DO NOT list:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
If the exercise poses a challenge due to leverage issues, then do the push up at a 45- degree angle off a countertop or staircase.\u00a0 From there you can drop down a couple of inches for added resistance and so on until you end up parallel to the floor!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
