Push Up – Exercise of the Week
- Keep your abs braced and body in a straight line from your knees to shoulders
- Place your hands on the floor with your hands just wider than shoulder-width apart
- Slowly lower yourself down until you are about 5cm off the ground
- Push through your chest, shoulders and triceps to return to the start position
- Keep your body in a straight line (from your knees to head) at all times
If you find that standard push ups are too advanced and you don’t have the strength to perform 10 repetitions, try Kneeling Push Ups

Hello friend. I need to know how to do exactly and perfectly diamond push-up?
Some great variations for push ups are hands wide, hands close together, feet elevated, super slow push ups and one arm push ups.
