Push Ups

This exercise primarily strengthens the chest, but it also works the triceps, shoulders and core muscles as well.

Steps

1. Start with a basic push up, lay face down on the floor, or a mat; with your feet together curled slightly so you rise onto the ball of your feet.
2. Place you hands shoulder width apart on the either side of your chest.
3. Draw your abs in.
4. Inhale as you raise your body up till your arms are straight.
5. Keep your head and neck level with your body (don’t look up or down) and don’t allow your back to rise or fall.
6. Exhale out as you lower your body back to the ground.
7. Repeat.
