Push-ups add in a dynamic muscular requirement to a plank setup. You can keep your wrists underneath your shoulders for a narrow push-up or take them outside your mat (along your chest line) for the old standard. In fact, there are several push-up variations if you get bored.
- Begin in a plank position, shoulders over your wrists, fingers spread wide, legs planted behind you at about hip-width.
- Pull in your belly button and keep your back straight as you bend your elbows to lower your body toward the floor.
- Lower until your forearms are level with your ribcage, then press back up for one rep.
- These can be done on your knees or tabletop until you build enough strength to stay on your toes.
- Complete three sets of 10-12 reps.
