#2 Wide Grip Push Up
The wide grip push up makes use of your body weight to hit those pecs. This is done exactly like a traditional push-up, the only difference being the position of your hands. It is a great exercise to improve the strength of your upper body.
Instructions
Step 1: Get down on your hands and legs (plank position) and position your hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.
Step 2: Now bend your elbows and lower your chest towards the floor as low as possible. Pause for 1-2 seconds.
Step 3: Then come back to the starting position by extending your elbows and pushing yourself up.
Important Tips: Do three sets of 14-20 reps each. The farther you put your hands out the greater the efficiency and challenge for your chest. This version puts more strain on your chest muscles so drop to your knees if your form starts to slide.
