Decline Push-Ups

- This is similar to your standard push-up, however your feet are now up on a surface. Having your feet up will increase the resistance (you are pushing a higher % of body weight), making the exercise harder than a standard push-up.
- Start in a high plank position with your feet on a raised surface. Your hands are in line with your chest.
- Keeping your body flat, lower your body to hover your chest just above the floor.
- Activate your chest to push away from the floor to return to your starting position.
- Keep your elbows in close to your side.
- Engage your core in order to maintain the straight body position. Do not lift your butt up.
- Keep your hands just outside of your chest. If they are beneath your shoulders, they are too far in front of you.
