Wide Push Ups are excellent for working up your chest as most of your weight during this exercise is placed on your pectoral or chest muscles. There’s no fixed posture for your hands, but the further you put them out, the more challenging it is for your chest.

Step 1: Place your hands wider than the usual shoulder-distance while keeping your fingers pointing forward. Stretch your legs fully behind you and press the balls of your feet into the floor.

Step 2: Tighten your core while keeping your back flat and your bottom squeezed before slowly lowering yourself down until your chest touches the floor and make sure you keep your elbows straight above your wrists.

Step 3: As soon as your chest touches the floor, lift your body away from the ground and return to your initial position.

Important Tip: Begin with 2 sets of 8-10 reps.
