The only way to get better at push-ups is to do push-ups. Building your chest, arms, and back in a dynamic manner makes this one of the most important exercises to master.
- Begin in tabletop position.
- Take your hands out in line with your chest (below the shoulder line) and set them down about the width of your mat.
- Press into your hands and press up to full extension of your arms.
- Come up to your toes (or stay on your knees with your glutes engaged to maintain a straight back).
- Lower towards the ground until your elbows hit 90 degrees or lower.
- Straighten your arms and repeat for two sets of 10-15 repetitions.
