Decline push-up
How to
- 1
Put your feet on a chair or sofa and your hands on the floor slightly wider than your shoulders.
- 2
Brace your core and glutes so your body forms a straight line from head to heels.
- 3
Lower your chest towards the floor, elbows about 45° from your body.
- 4
Push back up without sagging in your lower back.
Tips
The higher your feet, the more your shoulders and upper chest work.
Push the chair against a wall so it can't slide.
