Push Up Progressions:

Push-Ups On Your knees

• Set yourself up so that you knees are on the floor with your feet off the ground.
• Have your hands under your shoulders and back straight.
• Bend your elbows and slowly bring your upper body down towards the ground.
• As you push yourself up make sure you breathe out.

Incline Push-Ups With Bench

• With your feet on the floor place your hands on a bench or chair.
• Keep your back straight and head looking forwards.
• Bend your elbows and lower your chest down towards the bench.
• Breathe out as you push your self upwards.

Push-Ups On Your Toes

• Have your balls of your feet on the ground and hands underneath your shoulders.
• Keep your back straight and head forwards.
• Bend your elbows and slowly lower down your chest to the ground.
• Breathe out as you push yourself back up.

Remember to always keep your back straight and don’t hold your breath.  Once a progression becomes easy, simply move to the next one until you feel comfortable to move on to your toes.  Push ups are a great way to tone your arms and the best thing about them is that you can do them pretty much Anywhere.
