Guide

The incline push-up is a bodyweight exercise that targets the chest, triceps, and shoulders. By placing your hands on an elevated surface, you reduce the amount of body weight you are pushing, making this a great exercise for beginners or for those looking to add variety to their push-up routine.

  1. Place your hands on an elevated surface such as a bench or step, slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.
  2. Extend your legs behind you, keeping your body in a straight line from head to heels.
  3. Lower your chest towards the elevated surface by bending your elbows, keeping your body in a straight line.
  4. Push through your palms to return to the starting position, fully extending your arms.
  5. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
