Raising your feet increases the difficulty of a standard push-up and shifts the emphasis to your upper chest and shoulders.
Instructions
- Set your feet on a bench or elevated surface and place your hands on the floor, shoulder-width apart.
- Lower your chest toward the floor while keeping your core tight and body aligned.
- Pause briefly just above the floor.
- Push yourself back up until your arms are extended.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
