Incline Push-Up
The incline push-up is a bodyweight exercise that targets the pectoral muscles by performing a push-up with the hands elevated on a surface such as a bench or step. This variation reduces the load compared to a standard push-up, making it more accessible for beginners.
Step-by-Step Form & Technique
- 1.Place your hands on an elevated surface, such as a bench or step, slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.
- 2.Extend your legs behind you, resting on the balls of your feet, creating a straight line from your head to your heels.
- 3.Lower your chest towards the elevated surface by bending your elbows, keeping your body in a straight line.
- 4.Pause for a moment at the bottom, then push yourself back up to the starting position by straightening your arms.
- 5.Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
