Push-Ups With Feet Elevated

A simple movement to strengthen your chest with no equipment.

Raising your feet increases the difficulty of a standard push-up and shifts the emphasis to your upper chest and shoulders.

Instructions

  1. Set your feet on a bench or elevated surface and place your hands on the floor, shoulder-width apart.
  2. Lower your chest toward the floor while keeping your core tight and body aligned.
  3. Pause briefly just above the floor.
  4. Push yourself back up until your arms are extended.
  5. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
