Incline Push-up

How to Do:

1. Setup Place your hands on a box or elevated surface, ensuring they are shoulder-width apart. Position your feet on the floor behind you, keeping your body in a straight line from head to heels. Your hands should be aligned with your chest, and your core should be engaged.
2. Lower Down Inhale as you slowly lower your chest towards the box by bending your elbows. Keep your elbows at about a 45-degree angle from your body and ensure your body stays in a straight line throughout the movement.
3. Push Back Up Exhale as you press through your palms to extend your arms and push your body back up to the starting position. Keep your chest engaged and avoid letting your hips sag.
4. Repeat Perform the desired number of repetitions, maintaining control and proper form.

Benefits:

Incline push-ups are a great bodyweight exercise that primarily targets the chest, shoulders, and triceps. By performing the push-up at an incline, the exercise becomes less challenging than a standard push-up, making it ideal for beginners or those working on building upper body strength. The incline also reduces stress on the wrists and shoulders while still providing an effective workout for the upper body.
