Incline Push Up
Step by step guide:
Place your hands on an elevated surface such as a ledge, a step, a chair, or a stack of books.
Place your hands slightly outside shoulder width and straighten your body to hold a tall plank position.
Lower yourself down until your body drops below your elbows, the push yourself back up.
Other:
The lower you go, the harder it will be.
Use these as a way to progress to normal push-ups
Common mistakes:
Letting your body sag down towards the ground. The purpose of this exercise is to target the muscles of the upper chest and shoulders, and sagging your body down negates this. Make sure you’re maintaining a straight line between your heels and shoulders.
Not going low enough. Chest should come close to the elevated surface.
