How to perform Bodyweight Push Up with proper form

Starting Position

1. Hands: Place your hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart on the floor.
2. Feet: Keep your feet together or slightly apart, maintaining a straight line from head to heels.
3. Body: Engage your core and keep your body straight.

Movement

1. Lowering Phase:

   • Bend your elbows to lower your body towards the ground.
   • Keep your elbows at a 45-degree angle, pointing back, not flaring out.
   • Lower until your chest nearly touches the floor.

2. Raising Phase:

   • Press through your palms to push your body back up to the starting position.
   • Maintain a straight back and tight core throughout the movement.

Key Points

• Keep your head neutral, looking slightly ahead, not straight down.
• Avoid sagging your hips or raising your buttocks.
• Ensure full range of motion for optimal effectiveness.
