#4 Wide Grip Push Ups
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.
