Thread: push up

The push-up builds both upper-body and core strength.1 It has many modifications; beginners can start with easier versions, while more advanced exercisers can use a challenging variation. You can do the push-up as part of a bodyweight exercise session, a circuit training workout, or a strength workout.

Targets: Chest, arms, shoulders, and core

How to Do a Push-Up
Basic push up
Verywell / Ben Goldstein

Get on the floor on all fours, positioning your hands slightly wider than your shoulders. Don't lock out the elbows; keep them slightly bent. Extend your legs back so you are balanced on your hands and toes, your feet hip-width apart.


Contract your abs and tighten your core by pulling your belly button toward your spine.
Inhale as you slowly bend your elbows and lower yourself to the floor, until your elbows are at a 90-degree angle.
Exhale while contracting your chest muscles and pushing back up through your hands, returning to the start position.
