How To Do Push Ups | Correct Technique

Key technique points:
• Hands on the floor a little bit wider than shoulder width with the fingers pointing to the front
• Start with the shoulders straight above your hands, not leaning to the front or to the back
• Full body tension: core engaged with no arching of the back, legs engaged and glutes squeezing the legs together
• Elbows around 45 degrees out from the body, go down to at least 90 degrees in the elbow, then push back up with the full body in one straight line

Push Ups are the foundational horizontal pressing exercise in calisthenics, targeting the chest, triceps and front deltoids through a full range of motion using nothing but your bodyweight and the floor.
