Incline Push-Up

A beginner-friendly push-up that reduces joint stress while building strength.

FitnessTracker recommends incline push-ups for anyone easing into push-up training or rehabbing from injury. Elevating the hands makes this move accessible without compromising strength gains.

Instructions

  1. Place your hands on a bench or platform, slightly wider than your shoulders.
  2. Step your feet back until your body forms a straight line from head to heels.
  3. Slowly bend your elbows to lower your chest toward the edge of the surface.
  4. Push yourself back to the starting position by extending your arms.
  5. Focus on a steady tempo and good form throughout.
