Wide push-ups are a variation of the traditional push-up that primarily targets the chest, shoulders, and triceps. By placing your hands wider than shoulder-width apart, you increase the challenge on your upper body muscles, enhancing strength and stability. This exercise is excellent for building upper body strength and improving overall muscle definition.

1. Begin in a plank position with your hands placed wider than shoulder-width apart on the floor.
2. Ensure your body forms a straight line from your head to your heels.
3. Engage your core and keep your elbows slightly bent to protect your joints.
4. Lower your body by bending your elbows, keeping them at a 45-degree angle to your torso.
5. Descend until your chest is just above the floor, ensuring your back remains straight.
6. Push through your palms to straighten your arms and return to the starting position.
7. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions, maintaining form throughout the exercise.
