1. Knees – resting on tops of knees, Toes – resting on your toes, hands just outside your chest, elbows in towards body and pointing towards back of you.
2. Keep body straight as you bend at the elbows and lower yourself down towards the floor. If on knees make sure you are not just bending at the hips but that your hips are coming down as well. You are aiming to bring your chest as low as you can towards floor, arms 90 degree angle or lower.
3. Push yourself up to start position by straightening arms, not locking elbows out.

Tip – make sure you keep your arms close to your body and elbows in towards body to really target your triceps (backs of arms – common problem area!) maintain good posture throughout movement, keep weight evenly distributed through arms. If you cannot perform push ups on toes correctly, stick to knees until you build up strength.

Target = chest, triceps, core
