This variation emphasizes the chest more than traditional push-ups by placing the hands wider than shoulder width. It's great for building upper-body strength without any equipment.
Instructions
- Begin in a plank position with your hands wider than shoulder width and your body in a straight line.
- Lower your chest toward the floor by bending your elbows out to the sides.
- Pause just above the ground, keeping your core engaged.
- Push back up to the starting position by straightening your arms.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
