Push-Up

Workout 1: Upper-Body Strength Circuit: Push-Up

Targets arms, chest, core

Begin in a modified push-up position -- wrists on floor below shoulders, abs engaged, knees on floor.
Bend elbows 90 degrees, bringing chest just above the floor; keep hips lifted, shoulders down and head in line with spine.
Push back up to start and repeat. (If this feels too easy, do a full push-up.)
Do 15 to 20 reps.

Challenge yourself: Do walking push-ups, lifting up one hand and moving it a few inches to the side; follow with the other hand; go back and forth for a total of 12 reps.

Next: Standing Row
