Incline Push Up
How To Do An Incline Push Up Exercise Demonstration Video and Guide
The Incline Push Up is an upper body exercise that primarily targets the chest, as well as the triceps and shoulders.
The incline makes it slightly easier than the traditional push up from the floor.
To get started:
- Get into a traditional push up position by placing your hands slightly wider than shoulder width on a bench, box, or step and extend your legs straight back, maintaining a strong core and flat back.
- Lower your chest towards the bench by bending your elbows.
- As your chest reaches just above the bench, press your hands through the bench to push your body back to the starting position.
- Repeat.
