In wide grip push ups, you use your pectoral muscles in your chest to help lift your body. This exercise helps in building upper body strength.

Instructions

Step 1: Start in high plank position with feet together and hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart, fingers pointing forward or slightly outward. Engage quads and core as if holding a plank.

Step 2: Bend elbows out to the sides to lower torso toward the floor, pausing when the chest is just below elbow height.

Step 3: Exhale and press into palms to push body away from the floor to return to starting position, moving hips and shoulders at the same time.

Important Tips: Do this push up for 60 seconds without stopping followed by a 60 seconds break. Don’t allow your hips or lower back to sag towards the floor.
