Pushups are a great multifunctional exercise because they work the entire upper body and back. Performing pushups at an incline will put more focus on the lower chest.
Equipment:
- a flat workout bench, jump box, or step platform
Steps:
- Stand in front of the bench. Place the hands shoulder-width apart on the edge of the bench.
- Adopt a plank position by extending the legs backward until the legs and back form a straight line. Keep the weight on the balls of the feet.
- Slowly bend the arms to lower the chest toward the bench. Remember to keep the elbows and arms close to the body.
- Slowly push the body away from the bench, extending the arms but maintaining a slight bend in the elbow.
- Perform 8–12 reps for one set.
