Incline Push-Up

Set-up

• Place your hands on a bench, box or wall, slightly wider than shoulder width.
• Walk your feet back until your body is in a straight line.

How to do it

1. Lower your chest towards the edge of the surface, bending your elbows.
2. Push back up until your arms are straight.

Coaching cues

• Keep your body straight from head to heels.
• Elbows angled back, not flared out.

Common mistakes

• Letting the hips sag or pike up.
• Only going halfway down.

Safety

• The higher the surface, the easier the exercise: lower it as you get stronger.
