1. Push- Ups Proper Form

Step 1

Start down on all fours with your hands just wider than your shoulders. Find a comfortable position on the floor to exercise and get on your hands and knees. Put your palms flat against the ground so they’re directly below your shoulders. Let your fingers point straight ahead. Look straight down, and try your best to keep your head and neck in line with your back. Do push-ups on an exercise mat to cushion your hands and wrists so they don’t get sore.

Step 2

Extend your legs so they form a straight line with your back. Walk your feet back as far as you can. Position your feet right next to each other or a few inches apart, and balance your weight on the balls of your feet. Keep your legs and back as straight as possible throughout your entire set of push-ups. Avoid raising your hips too high or letting them sag too low so that your body goes out of line

Step 3

Lower yourself to the floor until your elbows are at 90 degrees. Engage your core and breathe in as you bend your elbows. Keep your back and legs straight as you bring your body down toward the ground. Stop when your chest is about 2–3 inches (5.1–7.6 cm) from the floor. Try to take about 2 seconds to lower yourself down so you have more control over your movements,

Step 4

Push yourself back up until your arms are straight. Breathe out as you push your hands firmly against the floor. Lift your body up without bending your knees, letting your hips sag, or raising your hips up. Once you straighten out your arms and are back in your starting position, you’ve completed 1 rep! Avoid locking your elbows when you return to your starting position since you could risk injuring them. If your arms start shaking or you can’t fully get back into your starting position, don’t sweat it. Lower yourself back to the floor and take a break before trying again.
